trailheads -

Glen told me that if the teen-agers around here like adventure, there is a hike that leads to the top of the mountain, but through an old grown forest.

To get there from Annis Bay, take the Trans-Canada into Sicamous, turning off at the sign that says Welcome to Sicamous.

Park there, though you can drive up further and turn around without a 4-wheel drive.

Still, it is safer to stop at the sign that says Welcome to Sicamous.

Walk down the road and you will go through an old growth forest, not as spectacular as the ancient forest we went to on Vancouver Island, but still a wonderful forest. It is 2 km to the top of the hill which will give you a great view.

The trail, called Larch Hills Traverse will lead to the top of the Mt. You can download trailforks (one word) and it gives you trail heads anywhere in B.C. This app is good for Alberta, maybe even North America. You can geo reference from that app and it tells you where to turn to go to the trail.

This information was given to me by Trail Steward, Glen Pilling, who was going up there this afternoon to take a fallen log off of the trail so that it will be safe for travellers.

There are many trail stewards who are doing the same thing, each on their own section, to keep this path available for all.

Thank-you, trail stewards.
