This is a double track hike up to a very scenic fire lookout.   We climb 816 m over 8.5 km, starting in the forest and opens up on the ridge.  Grassy meadows and views extend south and west at the top of the mountain at an old fire lookout there is a 360 degree view of Marble Range, Coast Range, scarped Range and the interior plateau.

We drive through Cache Creek and just west of Ashcroft at 7.5 km we take the Hat Creek FSR (good gravel road) for 13km.   We park at the junct of Oregon Jack PP and Cornwall Hills pp.   From here it is possible to drive to the top with a good hwb 4×4 – but we are going to hike it!!   If you wish to bring your furry friend remember a leash as we are hiking in a provincial park.

We will meet at the Aberdeen meet up spot at 0800 and those who wish to carpool can do so from there.   We will be following KHC social distancing policy, and keeping this hike to 6 people.   Remember to bring a mask and sanitizer if you wish to carpool.

I have been retired for several years now and enjoy many activities in the outdoors such as hiking, cycling, skiing, backpacking. I have lived in Canada for the last 35 years and spent a great deal of time exploring the Rockies, K-country, Kootenays and parts of BC.

I get out on a hike, ski or cycle ride several times a week either with the club or family and enjoy running multi day trips as well as day outings.I will lead fairly strenuous, moderate to steady paced outings as well as some starter outings.
