Meeting time: 6pm

Meeting location: Grouse Grind / BCMC traihead

We will hike the Flint & Feather trail to the top of Grouse Lodge. Plan is to download on the gondola (tickets $20).  Option to hike down only IF you have a second person to hike down with you.

Carrying the 10 essentials is mandatory for all participants. You absolutely will need a headlamp and spare batteries.

Bring: first aid kit, headlamp and spare batteries, winter puffer, appropriate clothing and a rain shell.  Trip will run rain or shine.  

Pace will be moderate: expect the hike up to take around 1.5hrs hours not including download from the lodge.  Flint & Feather is a steep, rugged uphill trail with a scrambling portion.  It is less maintained than the BCMC for reference.  

We can arrange carpooling in the planning forum.  I plan to leave New Westminster at 5:15pm which should have us starting the trail at 6pm. Trailhead is the same at the Grouse Grind & BCMC. trailhead: https://goo.gl/maps/1kUyTm8He5kyAW1w6
