Easter weekend backpacking trip to look for spring birds and flowers at Okanagan Mountain south of Kelowna. The overnight destination is to be decided, but we expect a strenuous hike of 10-12 kilometres with approximately 500 metres elevation gain to our campsite. We’ll camp for two nights and explore further on the day in between. Snow is a possibility and overnight freezing temperatures are likely, but daytime weather should be clear and sunny.

NOTE: ticks are expected in the area.

Each person is responsible for their own food and equipment though some sharing of equipment is possible. Carpooling will be arranged. Limit of ten participants. Contact Daphne Nagorsen and Bill Kinkaid for more information and to register – deadline is Wednesday 21 March.
