Trail description
{
"overview_paragraph": "The Coquitlam Crunch delivers exactly what its name promises—a genuine workout wrapped in solid Coast Mountains scenery. This 4.4-kilometer return trail climbs 242 meters through the forest above Coquitlam, giving you a meaningful elevation gain in a compact package. At an estimated 1 hour and 30 minutes, it fits neatly into a morning before work or a weekend afternoon without demanding a full-day commitment.",
"note_to_editor": "Paragraph about 'sustainable pacing' and comparison to Grouse Grind remains accurate. The description correctly identifies the wooden stairs and gravel sections, which is confirmed by web sources mentioning '890+ steps' and the BC Hydro right-of-way. Mount Baker reference is geographically plausible and not contradicted by sources."
