Description
A hike to the base of the volcanic plug, then a steep scramble to the top for lunch
- article – Skoatl
- meet at Paul Lake meet-up spot at 9:00
- drive to Skoatl trailhead (1.5 hrs)
- high-clearance vehicles needed for carpooling
- hike to the base of Skoatl, then scramble to the peak
- the final scramble is up vertical rock ledges for 15 minutes; not a good one for those with a fear of heights
- lunch on top, with a fine view of the Bonaparte Plateau
- return by the same route
- a moderate route, but the steep scramble is not for everyone
- spaces allowed are 8 for 2 vehicles, but if a 3rd high clearance vehicle can be found, more spaces can be opened.
- check the event listing in the last 48 hours for updates
- if it has rained a lot, we will cancel or go to a Plan B hike (Deep Lake Loop) if the weather is marginal

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.
