Description
With so many new members and many renewing members getting back into seasonal hiking, I wanted to help out a bit and since I am going to hike a favorite route on Sunday, the last day of March, I thought I would invite a few members to join me. I can only handle about 12 so another leader may offer an additional event for those who miss booking a spot.
- an earlier start for me – meet at 9:00 at the Ord Road meetup spot (check the MeetUp Locations Page for more information)
- carpool to the trailhead in the Dewdrop Range ($3 or drive yourself)
- hike for 4 km with no trails, but outstanding views in a special area
- one rougher downhill traverse to link up the two areas to create a convoluted loop
- some looser material underfoot and some wandering among whatever we come across, all more fun for everyone, with the right frame of mind
- an average pace and some time to take photos and enjoy whatever we find; if you want to hike faster, this may be the wrong hike for you
- stay in touch with the leader because the route will not be obvious and we want this to be a group hike
- a tea break at the halfway point
- there will be a number of local wonders – basalt columns, lava flows, the river delta, wind-shaped trees, emergence of wildflowers and herbs, wide views, and the beauty of the Dewdrop
- we will enjoy the sounds and sights of nature along the route
- ticks will be out
- dress for the weather
- watch the listing and comments for updates
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.
