Description
A spring hike up into the Six Mile Hills
- meet at Aberdeen Mall to carpool (60 km return with 2 km on a rough road – $5)
- Hike for 3 hours in the hills
- there will be a couple of fence crossings; we will observe best practices in respecting rangelands while on our hike
- lunch at a viewpoint along the way
- a loop route
- some potential hazards are ticks, rattlesnakes, cactus, and bears; stick with the group to be safe
- mostly off-trail in open rocky hills and grasslands
- wildflowers will be out
- a few hills to go up and down so fitness will be required
- the return time can’t be accurately predicted so if you have an afternoon appointment, this is not the right hike for you
- more detail to be added
- article on the hike – Six Mile Rambles
- a scenic route
- more detail to be added when the event is enabled for registration
Wednesday Hikes:
- most events are on the harder side, either with terrain, elevation, off-trail routes, or steady pacing, or all of these factors
- because we rarely follow trails or we tackle longer climbs, it is important for the group to stay together so basic fitness is required for everyone’s safety
- hikers are expected to be well-prepared and to be self-sufficient
- although the club encourages hike leaders to offer more moderate hikes for all levels, almost all of the Wednesday hikes do not fit this description
- contact the hike leader if you are unsure if this is right hike for you
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.
