Pincushion Mountain hike, Peachland

This hike is guaranteed to burn off turkey and stuffing.
On the way up we'll take the regular trail but using a steep shortcut for part of the way. Short snack break at the top. On the way back we'll turn onto a lesser known trail that brings us back to the parking lot via the bench lands. (The trail is very similar to my hike in July 2024)
This trail is steeper, more difficult, and a bit longer than the usual "Pincushion Mountain" route.
Microspikes are essential. No dogs or other pets.
About 4.5 km and 260 m elevation gain.
