Description

A hike to Painted Bluffs Provincial Park

  • meet at the Hillside Drive meetup spot (link) at 9:00 am
  • organize your own carpooling or convoy to the trailhead area
  • drive to Savona then on the Sabiston Creek Forest Service Road to Copper Creek (about one hour) on a good gravel road
  • hike over the hills, through the gullies, and over ridges to the upper end of Painted Bluffs, on a route, not on established trails
  • I have been to the area many times, but this time the plan is to stay at the upper end and hike around the rim without descending to the bottom end; this will save some down and up and make the hike a bit shorter
  • lunch on the rim
  • return by a similar route
  • a rugged hike
  • this is a long day because of the access; an option is to return on the Red Lake Road (equidistant)
  • check the listing the day before in case there are any changes to the plan
  • contact me by email or message me (link) if you have questions
  • Information on hiking Painted Bluffs Provincial Park
  • and a video:

I am planning on recording some more video footage and flying the drone (aerial photography) so if this of concern to you, then don’t register.
