Directions
* Start at Post-Greendrop (Lindeman) trailhead area - technically just before it along the road to the original parking area. Trail starts on the right - believe it's signed.
Details
* Loop trail - most people start at the true trailhead near the Post-Creek trailhead (Chilliwack Lake Road). Alternate prospector trail is more difficult and largely abandoned.
* Alternate route leads down to the Greendrop Lake trail - likely overgrown and extremely bushy.
* The trek to the lake has a drop over a ridge - so the elevation gain is misleading - you need to uphill both ways ;-)
* BC Parks lists this as 14km not 12km - going with BC Parks over 103 hikes. Also seen it listed on CT as 13km?
EDIT: As per this thread: http://www.clubtread.com/sforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23440 the route from Greendrop to Flora has been cleared and marked.
