Sicamous, Hiking
Hike to Joss Mountain, a lone standing peak at the northern part of the Sawtooth Range in the Monashee Mountains of British Columbia. A strenuous six hour hike leads up to an old Dominion fire lookout station at an elevation of 2,386 m (7828 ft.) The lookout was built in 1921 and it went out of service in 1930. In recent years the lookout has been restored and maintained by local volunteers and forestry personnel to be used as mountain shelter by the general public.
