Hiking to Idaho Peak - Aug 23/08

The trail/road starts in Sandon. Once a bustling town of 5,000 in the early 1900's, there are only about five people who live there now.


There were eighteen of us altogether.


The end of the parking lot and a truck full of bikes for the trip back down the road.


Off we go to the top. The trail is fairly easy, at first.


As long as you don't have an appointment at the top, what's the hurry.


The fire lookout serves as a beacon for the climb.


Here's Tyla at the top, ... hiking in flip flops?


Three siblings at the top. An cool observation platform is being built up there.


There is a 360 view from here, that's Silverton down there.


This an Indian Paintbrush is one of my favourite flowers.


Heading down the trail.


One of the bikers snakes his way to the bottom.


A couple of scenic moments on the way down.


These are the mountains north of Kaslo.


Back in Sandon. Great hike, I highly recommend it.
