Write Up:
A beautiful day for a wee hike in our backyard. This is a nice trail with a mix of forest and open areas with views of Mount Baldy, Barrier Lake and Yamnuska in the distance. Stats were 8.5km with 290m of cumulative elevation gain - a great hike if you are just starting to get out to the mountains. The Paintbrush and the wild roses were the flowers of the day. Wildlife was an 'angry chicken' - my husband's name for the grouse that got all fluffed up and squawked at him as he went past - not sure who gave who the biggest scare ;-) Thanks to Andrew for posting the initial hike - we had enough people sign up that we ran two hikes - one clockwise and the other anti-clockwise, meeting up to say hi around the midpoint.
