Land OwnerRegional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) co-ma
Trail brings you up to the peak but is not as steep as the other part of the Summit Trail. It goes partly through forest and is marked with red tape ( Jan 2024 ) and partly along forest roads. A few of the official trail signs from the Regional District come along and it looks like that there are more to come in 2025. Big sign at park parking lot at Joe Rich Rd shows the trail.
