Mt Mulligan is a beginner friendly peak SE of Squamish up the Mamquam FSR. It's ~13km round trip up to 1530m, with skinning along a logging road for most of it. It's a safe area and a much quieter alternative to Paul's Ridge. Beautiful views and some fun skiing to be had here. Depending where we park, we'll have up to 900m elevation gain.

Meeting location: 7:45am at St David Church at Taylor Way. I will be leaving from English Bay and have room for two more if you want to meet me downtown. The number of people joining us on the trip will be dependent on the number of high clearance 4x4s we can access to get up the logging road.

If we have time and weather permits, we will do some beacon search practice for multiple burials.
