Witches & Wild Places  🎃

Saturday, October 24 | Divide Lake + Chute Lake Lodge

Join Guided By Adventure for a roughly 5-hour guided day hike to Divide Lake, taking in the fall colours, mountain scenery and all the good things that come with getting outside in October. After the hike, we’ll head to Chute Lake Lodge to warm up, relax and enjoy a drink and shared appies with the group.

This is a moderate hike, and participants should have a good level of hiking fitness and be comfortable completing approximately 5 hours of hiking over varied mountain terrain. This hike is along an in and out trail – 10.5 km total gaining 560 metres of elevation.

A Little Halloween Magic 🎃

This isn’t a traditional Halloween event — we’re just using Halloween as an excuse to find a little magic, be a little silly and have some fun.

We’ll hike, take in the fall scenery, and then head to Chute Lake Lodge where you can throw on a costume or Halloween accessory, enjoy some Halloween tunes, share some appies and have a drink with the group.

Costumes are absolutely not mandatory. Weirdness is strongly encouraged.

Think less Halloween party and more fall adventure with a little spooky-season mischief thrown in.
