Time: 10:00AM–12:00PM

The next SFURA walk will be in Port Moody — Belcarra Park, south to Burns Point along the Admiralty Point Trail, on Wednesday, July 7 at 10:00 AM. Beth Odynsky will lead the walk. The walk is rated as easy. Light-weight hiking boots and a walking stick are recommended. We will eat lunch back at the picnic area near the parking lot, after the walk.

Driving directions:

Drive along the Barnet Highway (St. Johns Street, in Port Moody) to Ioco Road (there is an Esso station at this intersection) and turn north. At the third traffic light, Ioco Road turns left; follow it to 1st Avenue and turn right. Less than 1 km later, at a fork, turn left onto Bedwell Bay Road. Follow the signs for the Belcarra Picnic area. You will soon be driving generally west. Pass the turnoff to the right for White Pine Beach, and at the next fork go left. Stay on Tum-tumay-whueton Drive, avoiding the next left turn which would take you to the Burrard Thermal Plant, and continue driving through a yellow gate, to the parking area. We will meet near the washrooms.

The route we will walk:

We will follow the Admiralty Point Trail — past Cod Rock, Periwinkle Notch, Maple Beach, Admiralty Point, and Whiteshell Bank — to the trail end at Burns Point. On the way back, if the group desires, we can take short side trails out to Admiralty Point and Cod Rock. See map of trails and the driving route. Ignore the Knowles Road connection shown on the map between St. Johns Street and Ioco Road.

Bring a lunch to eat at the picnic area after the walk.
