A KHC hike on March 22:

• led by Doug Smith up the Tranquille Ridge Route
• no established trails, but we follow the prominent ridges to the top
• some more difficult sections along the way
• 2 hours 48 minutes return (about 7 km with over 1800 feet of elevation gain)
• lunch on top of The Pimple
• a wander through the open forest on the way back to pick up an old double track at the halfway point
• photos by M. Taki and D. Smith.    Click an image for a lightbox view and a caption.
• thanks to the co-leaders who supported the event – Erika, Kevin, Chris, Carla, Lois, Sharon, Frith, Monika, John, and Ted,  and the participants who were positive and supportive

Retired now, I get into the outdoors most days to hike, paddle, camp, snowshoe, run, walk, or explore. More information can be found at: KamloopsTrails.net.
