Write Up:Starting off later in the afternoon gave us the trail to ourselves.
There was not much snow but you definitely needed your icers. The
weather was very pleasant and it was not even windy at the top. We
hiked up to the helicopter pad at the top of the trail. They were
doing maintenance on the interpretive centre so we were not able to
have our snack break inside. Some of the group went around to get a
view of the city. The moon was still not visible at this time so we
headed over to the trail to the left which had more snow and less ice.
Once we got to our lookout spot, we could see the moon peeking out
from the clouds. We stopped there to admire the beauty of it rising
above the clouds. There were a few more adventurous souls who climbed
the ropes up the summit of the trail. After the moon made its full
appearance, we donned our headlamps for the trek back to the parking
lot.
It took us 4 hours and 25 minutes and we hiked almost 14km. We had
the pleasure of introducing Tina to her first COC event. Thank you to
Derrick for some of our amazing photos!
