For the goal of being the best prepared we can for Torres del Paine we will continue to train with full packs the weeks leading up to our March 11th departure. Our goal is to test out our gear, continue to develop a strong and supportive team and to become one with our fully laden packs for at least 5 hours each time out!

Today was the last of our summer training hikes for the Chile 2017 adventure. We concluded with a hike on the Cheakamus Lake trail to Singing Creek. This beautiful turquoise lake lies below Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. Well done team and thanks to Gord and Crystal for their assistance.

With packs loaded with more weight we tackled the 15 round-trip trail that covered Ambleside Park to the south and the Cleveland Dam at the Capilano Lake (one of our drinking water sources) to the north. Thankfully the weather gave us a break with mostly cloudy conditions to make it much nicer to hike in. Thanks to our volunteers Crystal, Hai and Jesse and S2P “staff” Gord and Brandon. Thanks to the Chile “kids” for another awesome time on the trail!

With a little more weight added in the form of tent parts we set off for Lynn Headwaters to hike the trail to Norvan Falls. Luckily the trail is mostly in the trees so we the sun hard to work harder to get at us. The cooler shade was much appreciated on this 14.5 km hike. Thanks for our volunteers Jesse and Sean and to the S2P staff Gord, Trevor and Brandon for another successful training hike!
