Description
A Wednesday Winter Walk in the Woods – wwww@dec.30
I scouted the trailhead today (Dec. 26) and have revised the route a bit. Same area, but a different trailhead. This will be new to KHC members. Some of the trail is now stomped in, but we will be establishing an extension to the trail that day. Watch the listing for an update.
(Dec. 28) We snowshoed right next door to this area and its very nice out there. We will be following some tracks, but also breaking trail, which is hard work. If you can take a turn at the front, it helps.

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.
