I was joined by Tom & Patti Bell and Sandy and Glenn Thompson for this snow shoe hike.
It was a sunny day. We all met at T & P's and traveled in together in Tom's SUV.
This is a view of Kalamalka Lake that I took on the trip to Silver Star showing the cloud cover over the water.
We had a good trip up to Silver Star but we began to worry that there might be little or no snow. It was very brown! We got to the Nordic Center at about 10:45. There is a nice and rustic lodge where we paid our $10.00 fee.
Here are my hiking buddies' in all there finery!
We set off on our adventure and found that our worries about not having snow was no longer a concern. It was not new powder and it was crunchy but dagumit it was snow.
We climbed some rugged terrain, mostly up hill, unttil we reached the cabin and consumed our food and refreshments. Ninety minutes to the cabin and ninety minutes back. We chewed up about 10 kms of trails. Here are more images from our travels.
We recommend warming up in the log cabin and having a break to get some food into your system for the 90 minute hike back. We spent a relaxing 45 minutes enjiying the fireplace and excellent food provided by Patti and Sandy.
A fun day and I know we will be going back. We talked about going to the Lookout on our next hike.
Total hiking time: 3 hours
Difficulty: Easy to vigorous
