More Updates

Meetup Locations

the meetup locations (info., maps, etc.) has been updated

the MeetUp Locations page has been updated

Hike Leaders

the KHC Hike Leaders Page has been updated
for additional updates (bios, email addresses, active or inactive, contact info. etc.) contact us
active vs inactive – contact the Hike Leaders Liaison Director (Sheila Powell)
for updates to the page, contact khc@kamloopshikingclub.net

Notifications

Members can receive an email when a new event is published.
There is no online subscription service since its free so we have to manually add each one
Send an email to khc@kamloopshikingclub.net to be added or removed (but be patient since it is done by a volunteer)

At this time the main contact email address is info@kamloopshikingclub.net as noted on the Contact Us page
The Board is working on which Directors will be listed as contacts (general enquiries, hike leaders status and program, support, new members, etc.)

Vehicle Access

Driving on mountain backroads is a bit of guesswork, especially early in the season (June and July)
Hike leaders will not have been on the roads prior to the event so they rely on past experience plus a little investigation
High mountain backroads are rarely graded so they are almost always high clearance, for part of, or sometimes most of the way in
Some backroads are 4WD
After a rain storm some high clearance roads turn in to 4WD access
there is no public information service for updates on backroads, except from a few reports from users online, but that is also hit-and-miss
in provincial parks, updates may be available, but it is rarely reliable
when we can carpool, we can sometime help with rides on high clearance or 4WD roads, but not during the epidemic
if a posted KHC event is listed as having access for high clearance, we have no way of knowing if your vehicle will be suitable; you have to determine that yourself
generally speaking, trucks are better than SUVs and full SUVs are better than light SUVs, which are better than a regular vehicle
if you don’t have access to a high clearance vehicle, the posted event may not be right for you during the epidemic

Trails and Locations

every event has a Location (link)
if you click the link it will send you to a page with more information – maps, images, access, trail information, etc.
we ask members to check the posted information first before asking a volunteer to explain what is already posted (with our thanks)
