Meet at the old Forbidden Plateau Parking lot @ 8:45am; hoping to start ~9:00am
***Will be very weather dependent; trying for Saturday as it then gives Sunday as a possibility, if needed
Objective: Enjoyment. Possibly one of the last opportunities to experience a relaxed hike in some of this year’s fall colours (hopefully!) plus great views of the Comox Glacier at the top then both southern and northern expanses of Georgia Straight on the way down; maybe even a few lingering blueberries if we’re super lucky…
Cost: $0

Description: -distance: ~ 10km return
-elevation: ~ 650m elevation gain – walk up the rockier face of the old ski hill then likely an old Cat track road and into the trees towards the subalpine at the top.
