Norvan Falls Hike

11/17/2016

0 Comments

 
As one of the optional activities at 111 Pegasus Squadron, cadets receive the opportunity to complete the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.  One of the requirements for completion of this program is an “Adventurous Journey,” an overnight hike that gives cadets the opportunity to explore, and learn independence and critical thinking.  In order to practice for their adventurous journeys, cadets participate in a number of day hikes, the most recent of which was a trip to Norvan Falls, in the Lynn Headwaters Regional Park.
Picture
Norvan Falls is a picturesque trail, through old logging roads, with relatively little elevation gain.  The end result is a cascading waterfall, leading into a pool that is large enough for swimming, and a stream that can swell under heavy rainfall.  Cadets carried roughly 30lbs of equipment, in order to train their bodies for the physically demanding adventurous journey.  In a fast-paced world, it is often incredibly relaxing to venture into the pristine wilderness located just 30 minutes from Vancouver, and this is one of the most amazing experiences presented by Cadets.
