Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Aug, 2015 01:17 PM
    SQUAMISH, B.C. — The scenic Sea to Sky Gondola, one hour north of Vancouver, opened in May 2014 and offered its first HikeFest celebration last fall.
     
    On Sept. 13 the second edition will take place, with free guided hikes, backcountry information sessions and expanded kids activities.
     
    There will also be a trail running session at the summit, as well as special pricing for the attraction's Via Ferrata, a climbing adventure that opened in June.
     
    The gondola climbs to mountain terrain over 885 metres above sea level in 10 minutes. At the top, there is access to eight main hiking trails of varying difficulty.
