Registration helps hikers FALL AND winter hikers at Lynn Headwaters Regional Park in North Vancouver can best enjoy a wilderness experience by observing a few safety tips. “The most important tip is to complete the two-part registration form. at the park kiosk before you start out,’? says Mitch Sckalski, GVRD Parks Superintendent. "On return, deposit the second part in the kiosk box. This simple action lets our staff know you are safe and sound. If we know hikers haven’t returned, we notify the RCMP and search and rescue ac- tion could be initiated.’’ Fewer than 10% of groups searched for in the park have reg- istered. “Hikers should. also be aware that the shift to Standard Time means less daylight,’’ adds Sokalski. ‘This is a wilderness park, and subject to sudden dense fog and rain storms.” The park’s winter hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Overnight camping is not allowed and vehicles must ‘be out of the park by 5 p.m. For updated information on trail conditions call 985-1690. For more detailed hiking information call GVRD Parks West Area of- fice at 224-5739.
