LAKESTONE RIDGE LOOP - MODERATE

Hi everyone. This is a different hike than I have done before, altho to be honest I did get part way on it this past weekend. Reason...because I did not have spikes nor poles along, which I was assured I would not need, but yes I would have been fine with them.

The trail is just under 5 km. return loop in Lake Country....not far from Grey Monk Winery. The views of Okanagan lake north and south are amazing. Lots of the trail is flat and purely walkable while there are a few technical spots involved with mud and perhaps ice, if some still exists by next Monday. There are many trails in this area and this may well intersect one that Peter is doing on Saturday, although the starting point is different.

The address per site is 8756 Okanagan Centre Rd. W. Just before you reach that address (which is on the left hand side of road) you will pass a dog park on your right. Slowly pass the dog park (and the erroneos address) and just a few meters further there will be another parking lot with small building on your right, just as the road curves. Park there and we will start the trail there. I knows it sounds confusing . Why they give this address is totally beyond me.

Bring your lunch and weather permitting, we will stop at a high viewpoint to eat and take photos. Also bring mini spikes with you, as a precaution and poles if you are more comfortable with them.
Any questions post below and I will try to answer them.

AS PER QUESTIONS BELOW WE WILL MEET AT THE MALL FAR END SPRINGFIELD / COOPER TO CARPOOL AT 9:30 SHARP!
