Two hikes were offered on Labour Day Monday...and boy, did the hikers aiming for the Cruickshank Canyon Viewpoint...labour! This route is known as one of our top-of-the-list hard hikes, thanks to its distance (23km or so) and undulating nature (elevation change of around 630 m), but is one of the Group’s favourite outings due to the sheer beauty of the landscape encountered along the way. Monday was no different, with twelve hardy souls setting off on their 7-hour jaunt and enjoying the day despite the distinct feeling that the route is lengthening by the year! Good on ya, everyone, for coming back with smiles on your faces!

The second hike was between Cumberland Rec Centre and Comox Lake, following trails that paralleled Comox Lake Rd. This outing was much more relaxed, taking 2 ¼ hours to complete and ended with a picnic debrief at the Number Six Mine Park, next to the Rec Centre. An enjoyable outing for the three of us.
