UBC Malcolm Knapp Research Forest

Maple Ridge, BC

May 26 & June 2, 2013

We did this hike two Sundays in a row. The first Sunday it showered most of the day. We hiked up the main road a bit and then went through the trails, following the yellow and blue marked trails. Some trails were quite over grown. After getting quite wet from the vegetation we followed the logging road up to a look out called Peggy Helm's. Not much of a view today. Had a quick lunch and followed the road back to the car. Total hiked 11.7 km

The next Sunday the weather was much better. We hiked the main road 10 km to the Loon Lake Research and Education Centre.

Took a look around and then we followed a different old logging road back up to Peggy Helm's where we had lunch.

Total hiked: 14.9 km, 4.23 hours
