		<description><![CDATA[Photo Album KVR: Portia to Iago Photoset on flickr.com May 31, 2008 On Saturday, I hiked approximately 20 km (return) on the abandoned Kettle Valley Railway right of way with 17 members of the Chilliwack Hiking Club. The day was hot and sunny. The trail started out in a southerly direction on a pipeline access road. Not too far along, the trail diverted left onto the old Kettle Valley Railway right of way along the slopes of the mountain. On this stretch we saw old retaining walls, a pretty waterfall, telegraph poles and concrete bridge piers. The we rejoined the pipeline access road and took a snack break just below the road/trail at the site of a small old log shed. Some of my fellow hikers believed that this was the site of a station of some sort for the Kettle Valley Railway. As I was sitting down, I saw a salamander of some sort scurry under a rock, but try as I might, I couldn&#8217;t find it again to take a picture.

		<description><![CDATA[I just came back from an interesting day-hiking trip near Radium Hot Springs, BC. We had a great time in the beautiful sunshine. Here are the details of the trip. August 20-21, 2005 Accomodations: Misty River Lodge aka Radium Hot Springs International Hostel Participants Phil, Mahiri, Maureen D., Celeste, Maureen M., Dolores, Ravi, Donald, Madeleine, and me. Photo Albums Lake of the Hanging Glacier 2005 Photoset on flickr.com &#124; Stanley Glacier 2005 Photoset on flickr.com &#124; [piclens-lite-link] Saturday, August 20 &#8211; Lake of the Hanging Glacier Saturday dawned clear and cloudless and the forecast was calling for +30C as we set off from the Hostel. The day&#8217;s adventures had begun! First off was the drive to the trailhead. We headed downhill towards the mill in Radium and turned off at the entrance to the mill onto the Horsethief Forestry Service Road. The first stretch of the road was a reasonably good gravel road. After driving for a while, and crossing several one-lane bridges, the road got quite rough. It looked like some of it had been recently reconstructed. The going was quite slow as the &#8220;gravel&#8221; got bigger and bigger. Eventually we came to a shallow stream washing over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just came back from a backpacking trip to the Iceline trail in Yoho National Park. We had a little bit of rain to dampen our spirits, but only scattered showers on Saturday afternoon and evening. July 16-17, 2005 Pre-trip accomodations: Whiskey Jack Hostel, Yoho National Park Photo Album Iceline Trail 2005 Photoset on flickr.com &#124; [piclens-lite-link] Saturday, July 16 Got up early. Had Breakfast. Got ready to hike. Started hiking &#8211; nice and level! For all of 50 metres! Then the trail started climbing. And climbing. And climbing. It&#8217;s a long way up from the valley floor to the Iceline trail. The roar of Takakkaw Falls was our constant companion during the climb, even when we couldn&#8217;t see it through the trees. Once you reach the &#8220;level&#8221; of the Iceline, you find that it&#8217;s not very level at all. The trail undulates up and down around and across glacial moraines for most of the distance. We had some showers during our hike so we got a little damp. We paused for lunch beside a glacial stream. When we finally reached the last moraine and started down, the first touch of colour we saw was a clump of bright red [...]]]></description>

We had a beautiful, blue sky day. The Tokumm Creek valley was very green and lush. The avalanche slopes were particularly beautiful and green.* We hiked quite a way up the valley passing the junction with the trail to Fay Hut and the recently removed Tokumm Creek campground. We finally stopped for lunch near a snow bridge spanning Tokumm Creek &#8211; this was the remnants of a winter avalanche. After lunch, all that remained was the final climb to Kaufmann Lake. This is one of the steeper trails I have climbed in the Rockies. The heat of the day certainly didn&#8217;t help. Once we reached the top, we saw the incredible vista of Kaufmann Lake framed by the back side of the peaks around Moraine Lake. Distance hiked: 15.1 km. Elevation gained: 578 m. [cpg_imagethumb:25,2003-06-29-07TokummCreekValley.jpg]Sunday, June 29: We hiked out to the trail head on another blue sky day. It was an uneventful hike out. Distance hiked: 15.1 km.

Photo Album: [cpg_albumrand:23,6] [cpg_imagethumb:23,Robson2002_004.jpg]Friday, August 2: Glenn and I started our day at the cafe beside the visitor&#8217;s center with a hearty breakfast. The rest of the group slowly met in the restaurant as well. Finally, we drove up the road to the trailhead and got underway. We started up the trail and soon encountered the remains of a late season avalanche &#8211; very icy to walk on. We continued on to Kinney Lake and along the east shore to the Kinney Lake campground where we had our first major break of the day. Following our break, we headed on up the trail &#8211; up being the operative word. The trail from Kinney Lake to Whitehorn has the first of two major elevation gains on this trail, gaining 143 metres in less than 4 kilometres. We paused for lunch at Whitehorn campground. After leaving Whitehorn, the real elevation gain begins, gaining 503 metres in 4.5 kilometres. In the process we passed White Falls, Falls of the Pool and Emperor Falls each of which provided short [...]]]></description>
