:roll:

Can anyone tell me where the trail marker is for the Sanctuary ?
I was up there last weekend & could not locate were to look for the trail access after the bc hydro shed.
From the looks of it the residential housing development & construction has wiped away any markers or indications on where it starts .
I followed Marc Bourdon's book directions to where the bc hydro shed is located but after that it was anyone's guess .
We'll have to try again .
If anyone can tell me how much farther to go after the shed maybe
i might have a little more luck at the next go .

Its probably been moved or removed because of the development in the area. What you ought to do is ask a person, who has climbed there and knows the entrance/trailhead (ie me), to show you. And you then offer to buy copious amounts of beer for said person (me) later on.

Cool !
I like that idea !
In fact I could ask the local contractor to build a Pub at the trail head !
That way everyone would be able to find the trail head .

It's about a 5-7min walk past the shed. There is a small broken cairn off the trail (now jeep track) I think there is also some ribbon. The old entrance is completely covered with chopped branches.

It's not that hard to find - at the fourth new hydro tower (counting from the Raven's Plateau end), look for a rock outcrop on the left side and a piece of plain yellow flagging on a stick in the ground. The trail is easy to follow after that and is consistently marked with plain yellow flagging.
