Event Coordinator(s): David Allan, Karen P
Participants: Sandy Bruce, Rhonda S, Graeme, David Allan, Karen Today's hike began with a gentle meander through a meadow before a short but moderately steep ascent to a shale covered shoulder just south of Volcano ridge. The ascent was heavily accented with an abundance of colourful wild flowers and views to the east & south of tree covered hills and valleys. We ate lunch on the shoulder where we were rewarded with an incredible view of mountains to the west and rolling hills to the east. We then began the relatively easier descent on Link Creek Trail to Volcano Ridge Trail, Gorge Creek Trail & back to the trailhead. The descent wound through pine forests broken by the occasional meadow and small creek crossings. Animal tracks were visible in the dried mud including what looked to be bear tracks. This small loop is part of a much larger trail system all accessible by hiking, bikes or horses. There were a couple of enticing side trip possibilities from the shoulder we ate lunch on, one to a rocky knoll to the south and a scramble along Volcano Ridge to the north. This 11 km hike was well worth the effort and included a wide variety of terrain. -- Dave and Karen |
