First, a hike up the Stein River Valley in Stein Valley (Nlakapamux) Heritage Park in Spring.

• An early start (meetup tba) or meet at the Lytton Ferry two hours later
• Take the Reaction Ferry across the Fraser River
• Drive to the trailhead
• Hike up the trail along the river
• Lunch at a spot near the river, then hike back
• A longer day, but a very scenic one
• Stein Valley Park website (link)
• Stein River Hike (Kamloopstrails – link)

Overnight in Boston Bar (make your own arrangements).    There are also campgrounds and BBs nearby (in the Lytton – Yale – Hope corridor).   Dinner social.

• Meet for breakfast
• Drive to Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park 
• Do the short hike to the bridge and back
• Drive south to Yale
• Hike the Spirit Caves trail (7 km)
• Info – Spirit Caves
• Participants can skip the first day and meet us in Boston Bar or Yale (comment)
• Drive to Hope, gas up, have lunch, then go up the Coquihalla Highway
• Stop at the Othello Tunnels Trail – short hike and a scenic spot
• Drive back to Kamloops, but there are other possible (but optional) short hikes – Ladner Trestle, Falls Lake, etc.
• Hikes are planned for the rest of the year, with some to be listed on the KHC site.    The full list is updated regularly – link.

To be done in the interim:

• Think about carpooling or convoying.
• Think about Day 1only or Day 2 or both.
• Accommodation – There are 3 motels in the area and some campgrounds and maybe some BnBs (an alternate could be Hope).   I will be booking my accommodation closer to the date.
• We will stick with these dates but in the last week if there is poor weather forecast, think about alternate dates or cancelling.
• Although I have chosen 4 hikes, not everyone has to do all of them.
• Hikers are asked to moderate their voices so that other hikers can enjoy the sounds of nature while out hiking.   There is a Hiking Etiquette Policy found as a link in the KHC Guidelines and Expectations.
• Bookings are now available.    Registrants can cancel if it will not work out.
