Oct 1 – Seven Summits Trail Area
Seven Summits Trail is a very long hike which starts at a parking lot on the side of BC Highway 3B close to Rossland. It is a one way trail and I believe around 25km long so I wasn’t planning on spending that much time …

July 14 – Around Dewdney Trail
This isn’t a full hike as I only planned on spending 4-5 hours out there, but I was curious to check out the Dewdney Trail from the Cascade parking lot in Manning Park as I had only been there once before when it was far …
