Halloween Practise - Dress up - treats at the Lodge

9:00 AM 12:00 PM
Rubberhead to Larch Hills chalet
Lunch at the chalet and rides at 12:30 back to town.

We are all set for this coming saturdays "up and over" run from Rubberhead to Larch Hills. The plan is to meet at the Rubberhead Parking lot for 9:00, which is at 2.5 km up the 110 FSR. The turn off for the 110 is 4.4 km east past the canoe forest products office on the Trans Canada highway. We will be finishing at the Larch Hills chalet some time between 11:00-12:00. We will have some treats for the end and along the way, but athletes will need to either bring a lunch, or if there is a parent that is willing to shuttle "drop bags" with lunch and a change of clothing to the chalet,that would be ideal. If there is someone willing to do this, please let me know. We are hoping to enjoy a team lunch at the chalet around noon. Please remember to bring plenty of water, a snack and appropriate clothing (it can be much colder the top!).

Here’s the route that we plan to take:
Double D, Rubberhead Climb, Meatgrinder, Muffin Top. This gets you to the upper Rubberhead parking lot. From there, take Half Baked (brand new trail) to Larch Hills Road, Hemlock Glide, Afterthought, The Greenway, Cottonwood Cutoff to South Hub and down Larch Hills Road.

Abbott Ridge Trail in Glacier National Park

9:00am meet at the trail head.

2 hours 15 minutes from Salmon Arm

arrange car pooling with other families

Bring snacks and sport drink for 4-5 hour hike

  Abbott Ridge

Trailhead: Illecillewaet Valley or Illecillewaet Campground*

The Abbott Ridge Trail takes you up into true alpine tundra the land above the trees and ends on a narrow ridge. For strong hikers, there are few routes that more closely simulate a mountain-top experience from the security of an established trail. During early season take the marked short cut to avoid a steep snow slope.

Out & back

Abbott Ridge is a difficult but wonderful day-hike with a lot of elevation gain. It is recommended to plan for a 6.5 hour adventure. The campground where the trailhead is located is only open July 1 to October 10, so visitors many need to walk in from the main road instead of driving directly up to the trailhead. The trail starts in the trees with a steep incline, but the elevation gain becomes less intense after the lake. The lake offers a nice view of the mountain reflected on the surface of the water. During the summer, hikers should keep going to get away from the bugs that will be present and may swarm you if you linger. Just after taking a right for the "short way," which is the verified route, you will come to a rocky area with a little view. The trail climbs up to a beautiful meadow with a great view of the mountains behind. You will see weather station equipment, and maybe a little pond that they can go up, and to the right at a little fork that goes down the long way if you go left. Most of the year, you will be able to traverse a small snow field as views of the other side of the mountain open up. Hike up the ridge, and you'll be met with a gorgeous panoramic view - with amazing mountains, snow fields, and glaciers, there is something to delight the eyes in every direction. During the winter or the shoulder seasons when there is still a good amount of snow on these trails, it is recommended to complete the loop counter-clockwise because it is easier going down in the snow than going up. The ridge path is pretty clean and only has occasional deep snow patches but it is normally firmly packed and obvious where other people have trodden. Most of the year, snowshoes are not required.

Bike KVR Rail Trail

We will ride the KVR rail trail Myra Canyon to Penticton 80 km ( the same route as my event the Okanagan Trestles Tour) www.okanagantrestlestour.com it is an incredible experience . www.okanagantrestlestour.com/the-route

Leave Salmon Arm at 7:00am (families arrange car pooling on their own)

It is a 2 hour drive to Myra Canyon from Salmon arm - google maps Myra Canyon Bike rentals for location ( take Myra Canyon Forest Service road - not June Springs road to Myra Canyon.

We will ride 9:30am to 3:30pm ( 6 hours with a 30 minute stop for lunch at Chute Lake) 5.5 hours ride time. Some may longer to get a 100 km ride.

Then swim at Penticton 3:30- 4:30pm at Okanagan Lake Park

Home by 7:30pm.

It will be a big day.

Bring lots of food, sport drink, etc. Athletes riding the 80 km route can put lunch and extra water, sport drink in my car. My car will be driven to Chute Lake for Lunch.

Drive from Salmon Arm to Myra Canyon 7:00am to 9:15am ready to ride at 9:30am - make sure your bike is in good condition.

Then drivers of those vehicles drive to Chute Lake (half way point and meet us for lunch) 12:00pm - 12:30 pm there are two drive options depending on vehicles - the easiest is to drive to Penticton then to Naramata then to Chute Lake. That drive will take 2.25 hours as you have to drive around the lake. And it will take the riders 2.5 hours to get to Chute Lake so the timing should work out well.

Then after lunch the drivers go to Little Tunnel which is 30 minute drive from Chute Lake on your way back to Penticton. Check out little tunnel wait for the riders, it is a cool place to hang out and if there are any bike issues there is a ride back from them. Then drivers go to Okanagan Lake Park on lakeshore drive in Penticton and wait for the riders to arrive and go for a swim.

Parents driving can ride Myra Canyon 12km then ride back to your car and drive to Penticton, once in Penticton park near Okanagan Lake Park - that is where we will finish and if you want you can ride your bike to the KVR and ride towards the Larch Hills group, we will follow the KVR until Vancouver Street and come down Vancouver Street to Okanagan Lake Park. Then ride back with the group.

This trip is for the rec group, U16/18 crew, second year U14s that have an adult along, and any coaches and parents that might like to join!!   Everyone coming will need a backpack, thermarest and sleeping bag, a tent to share, good trail runners/hiking boots, rain gear, and food for 3 days.  Lizzy and Abbi will look after having water filters, stoves, first aid, and some other communal supplies.  Ahead of time each person will also need to pay the $5 per night camping registration fee online at https://camping.bcparks.ca/ .  And please ask if you are looking for equipment to borrow.  I'm sure we can wrangle up some packs and tents to borrow!

Please let us know as you can if you're planning on joining us.  We'll be sending out a detailed packing list and plans for the weekend to the crew going on the trip in the next few weeks.

Cheers

Lizzy and Abbi
