Update: Saturday, June 17 – 3:45PM – Weather and air quality forecast for tomorrow is acceptable. Bundle up! See you all in the morning.👍🏻

Come along and be “wowwwwed” by the sights along this hike. I’m not sure whether to nickname it the “Gorgeous Forest Trail“, or the “Trail of Unending Stunning Snags & Trees“. I lean to the latter….. 😎 Sadly, my poor old phone camera just could not capture the beauty of these magnificent trees – I guess they are meant to be soaked up in person. As such, our pace will be one that allows for taking it all in.
Approx 6km long loop, 213m elevation gain….this trail wanders through one of the most beautiful forested areas I’ve seen – stunning vistas, lush green grasses, beautiful trees and gigantic standing snags that never end…..one after another…..each one will awe you. If you love trees and wild huge snags (spirit trees), this is the hike for you.
New members are very welcome!
Meetup at Valleyview Arena Parking Area at 8:00 AM on Sunday, June 18. (Beat the heat) Some car-pooling encouraged so that we do not overwhelm the neighbourhood’s street parking. Car Pool/Caravan to Upper East Juniper. Bring Water, Snack, Bug Spray (just in case), Sunscreen, 10 Essentials, etc.

My hiking style is a relaxed one - to best take in all the beauty around us.Hunting new wildflowers and fungi will often cause me to be looking everywhere except the trail.
I like to think up unusual/themed hikes (nature is fun), including Art Hikes, Historical Hikes, Wacky Race Events, Santa Stocking Hunts, Halloween Hikes, Photography Hikes, Astronomy/Full Moon Night Hikes, Fossil Hikes, etc.I also seek out interesting things to see and share in nature - gorgeous waterfalls and views, crazy geological formations, scenic forests, and other very special places.
I'm always open to hearing new hike ideas from other hikers.
Hope to see you all on the trails soon!
