Description
An easy-moderate-introductory level hike at Island Lake with Truth and Reconciliation Orange Shirt Day top of mind. We will hike the mostly flat main loop with scenic vistas, lake spanning bridges with opportunities for various wildlife viewing.
We will meet up with a warm up walk around the park's tales on the trail which is currently featuring 'Phyllis's Orange Shirt'. We will then head over to the main loop and end at the newly constructed Crane Gathering Space. I'll share site specific brief points as we share the space in conversation. Building in extra time for conversation, hydration breaks etc. Hiking footwear and/or stable shoes (no sandals), poles, water, snack, appropriate clothing , bug spray, sunscreen. There are buggy spots and no shade trail areas. Bathrooms on site.
