Approximate ground elevation from a 90 m terrain model. Distance follows the mapped itinerary and may differ from published walking distance. This is a terrain-model profile, not a surveyed measurement. Any ascent total is identified separately with its own source or estimation method.

How the route order was checked

The cabin steward publishes approximate trailhead and cabin coordinates. The trailhead lies about 4 m from an existing access-track vertex; the cabin coordinate lies about 5 m from the existing Grizzly Trail endpoint. Three short retained OSM track sections connect that start to the former footpath start with exactly shared vertices. Their selected sequence stays on the direct parking approach and does not add the separate road branch. The documented cabin outing returns by the same route. The older BC waypoint sheet places the cabin roughly 88 m east of the current steward coordinate; the current steward position supports retaining the existing cabin endpoint instead of clipping to that old point. No Raven Lake traverse or Leprechaun Ridge extension is included.
