Description
Come and join KHC leaders Ed and Lois for what may be one of the last snowshoes of the season up at mile-high Sovereign Lake near Vernon and adjacent to Silver Star resort.
- This is a moderate to harder outing covering a distance of approximately 10-12 km. and may require us to break trail periodically depending on the route chosen and snow conditions. Â Considering the distance, terrain, and possible deep snow, this snowshoe is not recommended for novices.
- We will stop briefly along the trail for a snack and then continue onto the Black Prince Cabin where we will take a short half-hour break to enjoy our lunch.
- Trail fees are $8 for adults and seniors.
- Suggested rate for carpooling is $15+ (discuss with your driver)
- Dress for conditions (layers, poles, and gaiters are recommended) and please check this posting right up until the morning of the event in case any changes must be made as a result of inclement weather and/or road conditions.
- approx. 1 hr. 45 min. drive from Kamloops to the Sovereign Lake Parking area in good weather and road conditions.
- a good working head-lamp is a must
- drivers should have dependable winter-worthy vehicles with good snow/winter tires.
- if you’re carpooling you might consider having a back-up plan in case your designated driver opts to cancel for one reason or another.
