Description
A Wednesday Winter Walk in the Woods
- depending on conditions, the plan is to climb to the top of a certain local landmark; the route is steep; a clue to the location is found with this listing
- meet at the Sun Rivers golf course parking lot (upper) at 10:00
- bring traction devices if you have them; the route could be slippery
- all hikes or snowshoe events will be 2.5-3.5 hours
- locations will be dependent on snow conditions and will be chosen 7-10 days out from the date
- Plan B routes will be chosen if it snows heavily or rains
- we will try to avoid cancellations, but will comment to the event if heavy rains or very cold weather is predicted
- early season WWWWs will likely be walks on the snow
- Once the snow depth is over 9″, snowshoe events can start
- most WWWWs will take place at 3000 feet elevation and higher
- all WWWW events will start at 10:00 at a meetup spot tbd
- participants must be adequately fit to hike on the snow or snowshoe for 2-3 hours
- all outings will be in the forest and not on pay-for-use trails
- dress for the conditions
- dog friendly, but if the snow is deep or the temperature is very cold, please choose wisely
- bring something to sit on for our lunch break
- there will be a weekly event from Dec. 16 through Feb. 24
- co-leaders requested
- more information tba in the late fall
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.
