Description
This is really the Needle Peak Trail, but we veer right near the top and go over to Flatiron Mountain
- Needle/Flatiron is a steep and long trail to the top of one of the Coquihalla Summit Peaks
- meet early (7:30 am), carpool (Aberdeen Mall) and drive to the Zopkios Ridge Rest Area
- the uphill requires core fitness to keep up (690m climb)
- lunch at the lake on Flatiron
- a steep downhill; poles help; tough on shaky knees and ankles
- prepare for hot conditions (water, hat, etc.)
- bring lots of water, bug spray, etc. (review the Ten Essentials please)
- Δ 2015 Peaks Series

Retired now, I get into the outdoors most days to hike, paddle, camp, snowshoe, run, walk, or explore. More information can be found at: KamloopsTrails.net.
