Description

A hike on Sun Peaks Trails to the upper part of the mountain (but not the summit) with a loop route through the West Bowl:

  • lift passes are required, which you can purchase online
  • meet at the lift line just before 10:00 so we can get an early start
  • ride the chair to mid-station, then start the hike
  • hike at a moderate pace to the back part of the mountain
  • since I have a foot injury I am not planning the steeper climb to the summit, but will instead hike at a moderate speed on the trails
  • the route – Top of The World Trail to West Ridge to West Bowl Trail
  • lunch/break at a viewpoint somewhere along the way before heading back down
  • bring fluids, sun protection, etc.
  • an article on the hike – Tod Mountain in July 
  • although these trails are not too hard, the hike requires a reasonable level of fitness to complete
