Alice Lake

 

This post is for the 4 Lakes Trail at Alice Lake Provincial Park, just north of Squamish. This hike is fairly flat and quite easy. The trail meanders through a forest and around 4 lakes. Although the highlight for me was a stop on the Cheekeye River with an amazing view of Mt. Alpha.

Distance: 8.4 km (loop)
Time: 3 hours (lots of breaks)
Low point: 192 m
High point: 317 m
Elevation gain: 125 m
Cumulative Elevation gain: 280 m
Trailhead: 49° 47’ 1.3” by  123° 7’ 17.1” (Google Map)

Before heading out on your hike, make sure you are well prepared. This means, having the TEN ESSENTIALS. It is also important to leave a trip plan (route details and estimated return time) with someone you trust.

Bring your smartphone, fully charged and put it in airplane mode while hiking. I always bring back-up battery packs for extra piece of mind. It is highly recommended that you bring a GPS device; I use my smartphone with a GPS app (Backcountry Navigator). The GPS will work in airplane mode. Learn how to use it before your hike.

For anyone new to hiking, there is a rule to which hikers follow; it is called “Leave No Trace” or LNT. The concept is generally to pack out what you pack in and respect nature, so all future visitors can enjoy what you have enjoyed.

    without a doubt donate to this superb blog! I suppose for
    now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your

  2. Hello i am kavin, its my first time to commenting anywhere, when i read this
    post i thought i could also create comment due to this brilliant post.

  3. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to
    see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be
    a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it
    with someone!

  4. Hi! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does running a well-established blog like yours take a large amount of
    work? I’m brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my diary everyday.
    I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and thoughts online.

    Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.

    Appreciate it!
