What to Expect:Join us for a gorgeous, moderately adventurous group hike to visit the peak of Pincushion Mountain!
The Route: We’ll meet in the parking lot and climb as a group stopping for breaks along the way. Once we reach the peak, we'll pause for a quick break to relax, chat, and enjoy a summit snack included with your ticket. From there, you can stay and hang out with new friends or follow the group back down.
The Workout: The climb up can be done in 30 minutes to an hour.
Time & Pace: Expect about 2.5 hours from the bottom, to the top, back to the bottom, including breaks and taking into consideration all hikers skill levels.
Where We Meet:
We will be meeting in the Pincushion Mountain trail head parking lot on Ponderosa Dr, Peachland, BC V0H 1X5 https://maps.app.goo.gl/BvTPRLmb5cCh6pvW7
How It Works:
We’ll meet as a group in the parking lot on Ponderisa Drive. This is a guided, non-speed-dating event with a completely unstructured format. No timed rounds, prompt cards, or mini-dates. It’s simply a casual, natural way to get outdoors and connect with fellow locals, where you'll get out of it what you put in.
Everyone is welcome, the event is LGBTQ+ friendly, and you can comfortably join on your own or bring a single friend along.
A Note on Ratios:
Because this is a relaxed group hike and natural social mixer (not structured speed dating), we don't manage strict gender-to-gender ratios for this event. It's all about getting outdoors, meeting great people, and expanding your SDK social circle!
Atmosphere:
Friendly, welcoming, and guided from start to finish—no pressure and no awkward conversations if you don't feel like it. You don’t need to be outgoing; just come as you are and you'll get out of this what you put in!

Dress Code:
Please wear sturdy hiking shoes or trail runners with good traction, as the steep uphill trail has loose gravel and can get muddy or slippery. We also recommend dressing in weather-appropriate layers so you stay comfortable throughout the hike.
What to Bring:
Be sure to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, and feel free to pack any extra personal snacks if you’d like a little extra fuel.
After the Event:
Stick around to hang out, or head off with your new friends from the SDK community to grab a coffee or lunch nearby after we finish!
