Group Hike To The Larches!

Join us on an unforgettable journey to witness the 2,000+ year-old larch trees on Mount Frosty in Manning Park as they turn a brilliant gold! This natural spectacle is truly a sight to behold and a perfect opportunity for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

Starting Point: We'll begin our adventure at Lightening Lakes, where we'll take a scenic route around the lake before veering off towards the enchanting larches.

Hike Details:

• Distance: We'll be focusing on reaching the Larch Meadow/Lower Larch, which is about 9 km in (18 km round trip) 
• Terrain: While the hike is physically challenging due to the elevation gain and distance, it is not technically difficult. Rest assured, this is a hike, not a scramble.
• This adventure is not for new hikers. You should feel comfortable hiking trails like Elk Mountain, Dragonsback or have a current/consistent workout schedule. 

What to Pack: Given the time of year, it's essential to be prepared for all types of weather. Pack layers, waterproof gear, and plenty of snacks and water to keep you fueled and comfortable throughout the hike.
