| Aug 12 | Sun | Hollyburn Peak hike. This is an easy paced hike to the top of Hollyburn. The trail is accessed from the cross country ski parking lot at Cypress Mountain. The trek is about 8km return with a 450m elevation gain. On a good weather day, the 360’ views from the top are well worth the effort to ascend the steeper sections | B3 | G & R Laman | 604-451-8445 |

| Aug 25 | Sat, Sun | Russet Lake in Whistler. Overnight backpacking. We will take Gondola at Whistler Village to the Roundhouse Lodge and then take Harmony Express Chairlift to the summit of Little Whistler Peak. The real hike starts from there. The estimated time (travel time not included) is about 8 hours or more (depends on the snow condition). If snow lingers on the trail, we’ll require crampons. This is a strenuous outing suited to advanced hikers. Please email me if you have any questions. (Note: this hike is subject to change depending on weather or trail conditions) | D5 | M.

| Aug 26 | Sun | Cheakamus Canyon hike and (optional) swim in Starvation Lake. This hike starts in Paradise Valley, just north of Squamish.

If weather is warm, we can swim in beautiful Starvation Lake. About 5 hours roundtrip. | B3 | D.Cater | 604-341-2846 |
