With the weather forecast calling for sunshine and warm temperatures the group opted to head out for one last hike to close out 2023. A new exploratory route through the Cumberland Forest trails over to Devil’s Ladder lookout on Comox Lake was mapped out by Cathy and David. They led us as we explored the hills and waterfalls. The hike was well attended and the 4 different waterfalls made the effort of hiking up and down the hills well worth it. Lunch was spent at Devil’s Ladder overlooking the lake before heading back along the lake and then retracing some of our footsteps and getting a second look at 2 of the waterfalls again. While the hike was short, approx. 8 km, it still proved to be a worthwhile challenge to all involved. A debrief was held at the Waverley Hotel for those who were able to stay.
