Cathy and Don McCallum led nine hikers on a great hike up the Halvor Lunden trail to Polytrichum Lookout at Buntzen Lake today. The trail was constructed by Halvor Lunden who a long-time member of the North Shore Hikers was.
We met up in the equestrian parking lot at 10:00 AM and there was snow halfway up the trail. When we got to Polytrichum Lookout, we had beautiful views of Buntzen Ridge where the Dias Vistas trail is located and the three peaks of Seymour and beyond are in behind. It was approximately a 2.5 km hike up, with 550 meters elevation gain.
Everything about the day was great, great leaders, great weather, a nice fall November day with great company. One of the hikers was a very pleasant guest, who was a young hiker and we had one member who had just joined the North Shore Hikers, and this was her first hike with the club. I have attached a little historical article of the Halvor Lunden Trail along with some photos. Thank you to Don and Cathy for leading a nice fall hike for the North Shore Hikers.
