Trip started at Cinnamon Spoon coffee shop in Bragg Creek. Roads very busy with cyclists. Trails in generally good semi dry condition.

Six participants: Kay, Joyce, Shirley, June, Del and Alastair C/S. Many tall old growth trees had been knocked down by very recent fierce chinook winds. Fortunately these had just been removed from the trails.

The main flowers seen were clematis,shooting stars,calypso orchids,crocus and even a lupin. Trails popular with families. This is a good area to hike for those wanting a short day and not much driving. .
