Everything is different when you go into the backcountry in the winter, and that's why there's Winter Longhike, an introductory trip for winter camping. This is usually a big trip with lots of keen people aboard who want to get out, learn some new skills, and sleep in their very own snow shelter while still managing to have fun too. It's an easy, beginner friendly trip, so if you've never even seen snow before you can still have a good time.
Past destinations have included:
- Red Heather Meadowns in Garibaldi Park
- Fat Dog Creek in Manning Park
- Mt. Seymour
For dates see Trip agenda.
Winter Longhike 2005 will be at Falls Lake, near Coquihalla Pass.
Maps to the area are available here for general driving and here for specific location. While going north on the Coquihalla highway, take the Falls Lake exit (last one before the toll booth) and go under the highway to the west side. You should be able to see VOC people there, and it is a short two to three kilometer hike to the campsite by the lake.
