Are you new to hiking in Vancouver? Wondering what the best day hikes are and which gear you need to bring for your outing?
If so, Fjallraven – a Swedish outdoor clothing retailer which recently opened its first Canadian store in Vancouver – is hosting a community night titled Day Hikes Guide for Beginners.
They’ll be presenting the top 5 picks for day hikes in the area, along with some basic safety tips and gear considerations. The hikes will cover a variety of difficulty levels (just because you’re a beginner doesn’t mean you can’t tackle something challenging!) and locations from the North Shore to Pemberton.
If you want to learn some of the basics about hiking locally, this is a great opportunity. The event is free and it will be a casual evening on July 30th, from 6pm – 8pm. There will be a food truck outside and some goodies as well. Not to forget all the great Fjallraven gear to peruse (I think there may be a summer-end sale going on at the moment as well).
Hope to see you there! And if you have any questions about the event, or suggestions on a topic you would like to see covered, please let me know.
