Kamloops, Hiking

While driving through Kamloops one day, I stumbled upon a trailhead that began behind Home Depot on Hillside Drive. The trail is called Kenna Cartwright and is absolutely spectacular. It is a slow climb to a high viewpoint of Kamloops and is accessible to all ages and isn't a difficult climb. There is no water sources along the way, so it is important that you bring enough to supply you for a couple kilometers of hiking! I went twice because I was so amazed with the view. Once when the snow was melting, which made for a bit of a muddy mess (still fun) and once when the trail was completely dry and the the snow was melted. There is parking available in the Home Depot parking lot and if you have some time to go hiking in Kamloops, I definitely suggest this one trail for the whole family!

In March, I went hiking in the Peterson Creek area in Kamloops. You can access the trail from downtown and there are places to park your car. One trail that I took that I LOVED was the Bridal Veil Falls trail. This trail is difficult and involves climbing some rocks and through some water, but it is worth it. It is a short trail also, but leads to a beautiful waterfall that you can get up close and personal to! Make sure you take a camera if possible! You can take some candid shots and some along the way that can remind you of how great the hike was!
