Please note that we have heard that there is a lot of new deadfall on the trail so the trail may be a bit of a challenge.   We will take the time to use handsaws and to move smaller falls where we can.

A fall hike onto the Bonaparte Plateau to climb to the top of Skoatl Point

• meet at Westsyde Shopping Center to carpool to the trailhead
• a longer drive on backroads (Jamieson Creek FSR then the Windy Lake FSR) with the final km on  a high-clearance narrow track
• hike for about 9 km (3 hours)
• article on the trail – Skoatl Point 2016
• the final section is a steep scramble on rock, not suitable for those with a fear of heights (click the link to the article for photos)
• click the location link for more info
• lunch on top of Skoatl
• this is a trail we can do in marginal weather so we won’t cancel unless it is very wet

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.
