Trip Description

Meet at the End of the Line store at the entrance to Lynn Headwaters Park.
We will follow the cruisey Cedar Mills trail out to just before Norvan falls and then head up up and up the trail towards Colliseum.  We will branch off this trail onto a flagged route that connects to the North Needle and then traverse North, Middle and South Needle.  If we have time/energy, I would like to visit Patton Peak as well.
This is about a 30km day with roughly 1600m of elevation gain.  There are some easy to moderate scramble sections.

I am going to bring my dog, Ansell.  He is part mountain goat but we might need to give him a bit of an assist in one section just before North Needle.


You wiil probably enjoy this trip if:
   You are comfortable with needing to climb a bit while hiking, you have done days of similar length in the past and you have a grind time of about 1:10 or less
