Land OwnerRegional District of Central Okanagan
Build in 2024. Trail is quite steep with a few sections with aluminum stairs. It brings you almost to the peak but makes a detour there to not cross a restoration/instable section. It connects to the forest service road and you have to follow what last 3 switch backs to get to the top with all the antennas. Incredible views on the way up and on top.
