Join us for a spectacular hike to the top of Brandywine Mtn! On the way, we'll pass the through the beautiful Brandywine Meadows. From the top, we'll have a view of numerous other mountains and glaciers! Please see the links for a further description of the trail. Please note, there are numerous steep sections, so this hike is for experienced hikers. If you can do the Grouse Grind, you should be able to do this hike.
If the forecast calls for rain, the hike will be cancelled the day before. Please make sure you come prepared for this hike (we're not stopping on the way for food or snacks). Also, we'll have to leave a bit earlier - the meet time is 8:15am.

Car Pooling
We will arrange car-pooling from Vancouver Tourism Info Centre. It works on a first come, first serve basis (i.e., if someone RSVPs and can drive 3 people, the first three people who sign up get a lift.) Please give your driver $8-10 for gas and their time. Drivers are usually in short supply, so if you can drive, it is appreciated.
