OK so you know where you want to hike, and you know you can get there. Yay!
But wait - what state is the trail itself in?
The number one resource for determining current conditions is other hikers.
They can be park staff, friends, or random people on the Internet, but
updates can really only come from people who've been to a place recently,
and that means trip reports.
First on your list should probably be the web pages for the park you're
planning to visit (if applicable).
BC Provincial Parks: bcparks.ca
Metro Vancouver Regional Parks:
http://www.metrovancouver.org/services/parks/Pages/default.aspx
BC Hydro recreation areas (e.g. Buntzen Lake):
https://www.bchydro.com/community/recreation_areas.html
Next, check out recent trip reports and forums.
The Club Tread forums are a long-standing source of excellent trail
conditions and trip reports:
http://forums.clubtread.com/
Live Trails (created by Wanderung veteran Ahmad Wasfi) is great place to
find recent trip reports on local trails:
https://www.livetrails.com/posts
Vancouver Trails also has a forum plus each trail description has comments
where hikers often submit recent updates:
https://www.vancouvertrails.com/
Facebook has become a useful source for the latest trail updates. Obviously
we suggest starting with the Wanderung group, but there are others that
cover the local area, such as the Chilliwack BC hiking club.
Wanderung: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2389686598/
Chilliwack: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2525572810/
For snow conditions, backcountry skiers should check out the South Coast
Backcountry Touring group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/southcoasttouring
Instagram is another useful resource - if you see a post from a trail
you're interested in, why not drop a DM to the poster and ask about
conditions?
Conveniently, many of the above links are also on Ashika Parsad's list of
trip planning resources:

On the flip side of the question about conditions, if you've been somewhere
(especially somewhere popular) then please consider writing a short trip
report using any of the above resources. Your fellow hikers will really
appreciate it! If you keep a blog about your recent trip then we'd love to
hear about it and consider posting your latest article in the Wanderung
Facebook group. Trip planning: weather from |Wanderung| Newsletter
---------------------------
OK, now we're getting somewhere! You have a destination, know how to get
there, and the trail looks good. What's next to consider? Well that would
be the weather.
It’s always worth checking the weather before embarking on any backcountry
trip, even though you should be prepared for ANY conditions (within
reason). There are many weather websites out there, but in general the
official government weather service forecasts remain the most reliable
(yes, really!). The Vancouver site is below:
http://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-74_metric_e.html
Recently, Environment Canada also added a station for West Vancouver which
might be more suitable for the North Shore:
https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-99_metric_e.html
Remember that warm, sunny days can swell mountain creeks as much as heavy
rains, and that severe weather can increase the chances of rock and debris
slides, as well as carve out gullies.
In the winter, the weather discussion and forecast at Avalanche Canada is
vital for assessing likely conditions in the mountains. Each forecast has a
section on the weather for that area, and if you want even more detail,
check out the mountain forecast:
https://www.avalanche.ca/weather/forecast
Other excellent sources of weather info and discussion include Wayne
Flann's avalanche blog (based in Whistler):
http://www.wayneflannavalancheblog.com/
and Cliff Mass's weather blog (based in Seattle):
http://cliffmass.blogspot.ca/
Be warned though - the discussion gets pretty technical! However, it's
really worth learning more about the weather to understand some of the
implications of
Another source of forecasts for specific mountain areas can be found at the
Mountain Forecast website with precipitation and temperature info for
several elevations.

Knowing sunrise and sunset times is crucial for returning home safely so
don’t forget to factor those into your trip plans.

Trip planning: Safty from |Wanderung| Newsletter In planning your trip, you'll need to know if there are any safety concerns associated with the route. Many of these will be linked to the conditions
and weather covered in previous newsletter - it's all part of the big
picture of trip planning and it's not really possible to consider each
element in isolation.
We'll start by revisiting the weather. Check the latest forecasts to ensure
you carry the appropriate gear for the conditions. For example, will it be
sunny? Then take a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Hot? Be sure to carry
plenty of water (and make sure you're hydrated *before* you go on the
hike). Cold? Bring a hot drink, soup, or hand/feet warmers. Rainy? Make
sure you have all your rain gear in your pack and that your footwear has
been waterproofed. Icy? Bring YakTrax or microspikes. And so on.
Of course, in the winter you should *always* check the avalanche forecast
when planning a trip. It's really important to understand the effects of
the weather on the snowpack. Don't just look at the ratings - read the
weather reports and look for any observations from the Mountain Information
Network:
http://www.avalanche.ca/map
In times of heavy rain, or after storms, be aware that creeks will swell,
bridges may be out, and trees may have fallen across the trail. Rock slides
are also a potential issue during or just after wet weather. Plus, the
rooty trails of the North Shore become extremely slippery when wet. If you
need to cross an unbridged creek, learn how to do so safely:
http://www.wta.org/hiking-info/basics/how-to/how-to-ford-a-river
Also be aware of any navigational concerns with a trip. For many trails in
the Lower Mainland, it's straightforward to follow the route (provided you
pay attention!) as they are usually marked. But what if there's snow? Will
you still be able to rely on trail markers? What if there are many trails
to choose from (a significant problem in some parts of the North Shore)?
And what if there aren't any trails at all? Be prepared with a map and
compass and/or GPS. Consider adding a mapping app to your phone as a backup.
Useful trip planning tools for navigation are Google Earth (and Maps - use
the Terrain layer), OpenStreetMap (use the cycling layer), and CalTopo (
caltopo.com). Those of you with a Bivouac subscription can use their maps
too. If you have access to a GPS track it's a great learning experience to
visualize it on a map or in Google Earth. Be sure to print out a map of the
route too - caltopo.com is excellent for this.
No discussion of hiking safety is complete without mentioning the Ten
Essentials. Check out North Shore Rescue's list:
http://www.northshorerescue.com/education/what-to-bring/
and take a look at Gary Robbins's video on making up a compact Ten
Essentials kit:
http://garyrobbinsrun.com/blog/2 ... -trail-runner-style
When it comes to sending your callout to everyone, we recommend that you
include some of the knowledge you've gained in your trip research to help
out your fellow hikers. That way you won't get people turning up at the
meeting spot with insufficient water, jeans, or no avalanche safety gear.
Finally before you head out on your trip, you should always fill out and
leave a trip plan with someone you trust. AdventureSmart has an online form
that you can email directly to a friend:
https://www.adventuresmart.ca/tripplan/tripplan.php

Next week we'll finish up with a look at trip planning and camping.
from |Wanderung| Newsletter
Trip planning: camping
---------------------------
Finally we'll conclude this little series with a look at camping. Camping
(and especially frontcountry camping) has exploded in popularity over the
past few years, which means that the days of casual camping may be over -
at least when it comes to provincial parks. So it makes sense to plan your
camping options well ahead of time.
We'll split the camping options into three categories: frontcountry,
backcountry (established sites), and wilderness (like backcountry but with
no established sites or facilities).
Frontcountry camping (aka car camping):
In BC much of the frontcountry camping options are associated with
provincial parks, forest recreation sites, and national parks. (There are
many private campgrounds too, but we'll stick to public facilities.) The
only real way to be sure of getting a weekend site is to reserve online
(via discovercamping.ca or https://reservation.pc.gc.ca/ParksCanada) or to
turn up Friday morning. Be sure to check the rules and regulations - most
sites permit only 1 or 2 tents and/or cars. Reservations open 4 months
before the first date you wish to book for provincial parks, but you can
plan national park visits up to a year in advance.
BC Parks' guidelines:
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/reserve/
Note that in the shoulder season, most provincial park campgrounds are
closed but many allow walk-in camping for free. For hikers and backpackers
who tend to travel light, carting your gear a few metres from the car is no
big deal. With no camp host, treat it like a backcountry campsite and leave
absolutely nothing behind afterwards. Be aware that water taps/pumps may
not be available.
Backcountry camping:
Backcountry campgrounds often have tent pads (or at least cleared spaces
for tents), food storage and outhouse facilities. Fees vary and for most
provincial parks must be paid for online ahead of time via a backcountry
registration permit. Check the relevant park webpage to find the correct
link.
Garibaldi joins Bowron Lakes and Mount Robson provincial parks in requiring
reservations for backcountry camp sites. All camping options in Garibaldi
(including Elfin Shelter) now require reservations all year round. If you
can't get a reservation, then plan to go elsewhere; don't just turn up and
expect to find a spot, or take someone else's. That's not cool.
One issue with backcountry camping these days is overcrowding. Many
backcountry campgrounds were established at a time when fewer people
ventured into the wilderness, and as a result many campgrounds have
limited space. Plan ahead and try to get there early. If space isn't
available at your desired campground, consider moving on to another
campground (if one is available), or use your best wilderness camping and
Leave No Trace skills to select an alternative if permitted.
In some places there is the option to sleep in a hut (Elfin, Tetrahedron,
etc). Some are run by BC Parks, others by local outdoor clubs (Tet Outdoor,
ACC, BCMC, and the VOC). Since huts tend to be very popular, be sure to
check ahead of time as to the hut fees, capacity, and if other groups are
already planning on staying there. And please be a good hutizen (is that a
word?) by obeying hut etiquette!
Wilderness camping:
While being on top of your Leave No Trace game is important for all camping
activities (after all, BC *is* bear country), it's absolutely vital for
wilderness camping. Check out leavenotrace.ca for tips, or Taryn's website:
https://happiestoutdoors.ca/how-to-leave-no-trace/
Good food storage and bathroom practices are essential, and water access is
especially important.
Selecting a good wilderness campsite takes experience, and often requires a
bit more independent research than either of the previous options. Read
trip reports, talk to your friends, ask for their advice and suggestions on
good camping options if you're venturing into unmanaged backcountry areas.
Note that there are particular restrictions on where you can wilderness
camp in Garibaldi. Last year, BC Parks published a map that defined the
areas accessible for wilderness camping. It's on the park website, and
shows that most of the easily accessible areas in the park are out of
bounds when it comes to wilderness camping.
That brings us to the end of the series on trip planning. We hope that
gives you enough to get started with all the various aspects of planning a
successful trip. Who knows - maybe it'll inspire a callout or two? We'd
love to see that. Happy hiking!
