GAPS Hike - Norvan Falls

Dear GAPS members,

We are looking forward to another GAPS hike of this season to Norvan Falls! 

Date: Saturday, August 1st

  • Round-trip distance: ~14–16 km

  • Elevation gain: ~195–300 m

  • Time: 3.5–6 hours depending on pace

Location: forests of Lynn Headwaters Regional Park, Norvan Fall

Cost: this is a free event. There are not lifts provided for this hike.

Important notes:

  • This is a group activity. Sub-groups are fine, but no one should hike in groups smaller than four, in part due to potential wildlife.

  • More information will be provided, meanwhile feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.

  • How to get there by bus: from downtown Vancouver, take the Seabus across to North Vancouver and at the Lonsdale Quay bus loop, take bus #228 to Lynn Valley. You will want to get off of the bus near the end of the route at Dempsey and Lynn Valley Road. Let the bus driver know where you are going and they can stop at the location. After getting off the bus, walk down the paved road into the forest towards the parking area and the start of the trail.

Please carefully read through the GAPS Code of Conduct before attending! 

Best regards,
The GAPS Committee
