ROLLEY LAKE to ROCKWELL KNOB( aka Rolley hill) LOOP
Details: Moderately challenging intermediate hike-WETHEAR PERMITTING
About the Hike:
Beginning from the day use area, this loop combines the Rolley Lakeside Trail and Rolley Falls Trail. The lake loop is a nice and easy stroll that is great for all ages, and Rolley Lake Campground is a great spot for staying overnight here in the summer. Rolley Falls is a bit more of a challenge. The trail to the smaller upper falls is overgrown and muddy in areas with some fallen trees. Once past the bridge and the upper falls, the trail goes downhill along the North side of the creek. The trail here is steep and fairly rough terrain with some rocky switch-backs, which could definitely be a challenge for younger children. Once along the lower trail, there are two platform areas at which you can have a look at the larger, more impressive lower falls.
Explore this 16 Kilometers out-and-back trail near Mission, British Columbia. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 7.5 hours to complete.
Elevations gained is 680 meters (including the grind, weather permitting)
