KHC Newsletter – July 30, 2017
KHChirps
- August is a month when many of our most active hikers (and hike leaders) are off to mountain base-camps. There will still be a few local hikes, though, so watch the website for listings.
- Best of luck to the leaders and participants in the various camps over the next month.
- Wells Gray Provincial Park is open again but check air quality forecasts before going north since the Dunn Lake fire and Elephant Hill fire may cause smoky conditions.
- New GPS tracks and maps (with downloads available) are being added to some of our trail hike locations. See the featured trails section below.
- Draft Events are events that are planned, but registration is not yet enabled. When the hike leader is ready to confirm the final details, he/she enables registration and removes Draft from the event listing. Each hike leader has a different time frame for doing this.
- We have 19 active hike leaders. Eleven of them are retired. All are volunteers.
