After coffee, we'll walk to the Whistler gondola and upload to the Roundhouse lodge. We'll then take the short walk to the Peak Chair which takes us to the High Note trailhead.

We'll enjoy the High Note trail at the pace of the group, stopping for photo opportunities, water breaks, and some time to eat lunch.
