A reminder that on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. WALC is inviting residents to participate in a community hike up the recently completed first section of a three phase trail building project on Spion Kop. The meeting place for the hike will be at the end of Apex Drive in the Lakes neighborhood.
Dev Fraser, president of WALC, says that the section of trail that will be explored will take hikers to the Ellison Ridge south viewpoint. From this vantage walkers will be able to see three lakes—Okanagan, Duck and Wood—and Fraser promises that the landscape is stunning to gaze upon.
With an average grade of 10 per cent Fraser says the 45 minute hike to the viewpoint would be best described as intermediate.
Some residents may want to be a part of the trail opening celebration but will have reservations about committing to such a long climb. For this group of hikers Fraser says the first half a kilometer is very flat and guided tours of just this limited section of the trail will also be available.
