Hiking Trail description:
Group A- Recreation level , flexible
This group is very flexibile and is custom made for those people who are not confident for the intermediate and advance level. the participant will hike at their comfort level , no time frame or distance required . You can bring your baby or even pets . Hopefully , this will encourage and attract more participant so that more unfortunately kids in China will benefit from your participation .
Group B – Intermediate Level, Elfin Lakes, 22km return,
Starting at 9am at the Mamquam parking lot (Pt. A on map), it takes about 1 hr and 15 min and 5km of hiking to reach a shelter, at about halfway point to Elfin Lakes, where we’ll take the 1st break. This trail is easy, not too steep and wide enough to drive a SUV. After another 15 min hike continuing from the shelter, an awesome, grand mountain view will open up right in front of you. It will be another 1.5 to 2 hours from the shelter to Elfin Lakes. I’m sure that you’ll enjoy this section of the trail. The panoramic view will take your breathe away.
Group C – Advance Level, Opal Cone, 34km return,
This trail is custom made for the serious hikers who would like to challenge his endurance and physical limitations. We’ll be starting at the parking lot at 9am (same as the intermediate level). However, this group will continue for for another 6 km approx beyond the Elfin Lake. This is a long day hike for those who love challenges. The total length of this trail is 34 km and the estimated return time to the parking lot is 8:30pm
