| 26-Sep | Sun | High Falls
Creek (Squamish area) On a nice day this hike presents expansive views over Squamish River valley and Tantalus Mountain range beyond.

| 3-Oct | 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 |
