- A reminder that Sun Peaks offers a 20% discount on a hiking lift pass for members of the Kamloops Hiking Club.
- Our thanks to Sheila Powell, Ernie Carson, Gerry Hoye, John Moslin, Carole Pugle, Greg Arvidson, Paulette Gendron, Ed and Lois Hunter, Katherine Roberts, Tom Blackburn, Doug Smith and Paul Battjes for leading events in July.
- Many of our hike leaders are traveling, camping, or participating in camps so there will be less events overall in the summer.
- Area closures or smoky conditions may require cancellation or relocation of events. Check the listings for updates.
- Only 5 months to the first snowshoe of the season…
