White Rock & Black Bear (B2)
Date: Saturday April 13th, 2019
Time: 8:30 am – 4:00 pm
Category: Hike (mostly up and down)
Rating: a day hike up and down White Rock and Black Bear, rated B2 (B: moderately strenuous, 6+ hours hiking time, ~600m elevation gain, potential sections off trail; 2: mostly up and down on sections of unmaintained trails and travel off trail)
Details: a hike in the Sooke hills to White Rock and Black Bear, passing the Mary Vine Falls (hopefully still running wild) followed by a short distance on the water pipeline (challenging for those with fear of heights). Trails will be unclear at times with often fallen trees blocking possible trails. Self-assess oneself for having the required patience and flexibility for these kinds of conditions. We will be re-flagging the trail where needed.
Attitude: today is my favourite day attitude.
Gear: good sturdy hiking boots, let’s assume sunny weather and let’s be ready for rain. Make sure you bring what is needed to stay dry, warm, well fed and bring a daypack with the other 10 essentials. A warm drink does wonders on a cold windy day.
