It was a hot day up Heather Mountain. The snow had mostly melted; luckily there were a few patches to cool down with.
It was one member’s first hike both on Vancouver Island and with the IMR. We had a 12 km round trip as we were able to drive most of the way up.
Great company, big views. We took it slow and steady, made time for rest stops and a little exploring.
Elapsed time: 6 hours. Elevation gain: 750m.
Thanks for the share.
Was the gate open at the bottom.?
HI Ian, in this case the participants had permission to enter. The gate was locked.
