2nd Annual Easter Outlook Hike [Jag's trail to the Outlook and Spirit Lake]

Our numbers have expanded which is great as we don't want people taking any risks in hiking alone ... so 14 of us went on a planned new [for many] trail hike. We planned for cars at each end of the trail. Then started out from the Kaay side. The trail is very well marked and because it has lots of traffic it was a bit wet, but not a problem! Our group was well spread out along the trail so there was no noise pollution ... and folks were able to move up and down the groups for new conversations ... which was great as we had visitors and everybody didn't know each other.

The views were great from the 4 Outlooks ... didn't see any whales, but watched the ferry, sail up the coast ... terrific views! Thanks to all those who so carefully and thoughtfully trimmed the trees.



The cross-over to the Lake has suffered from the "Fall/Winter winds" but it is well marked and with a bit of over, under and along, we made it. There are some wet spots but nothing we couldn't handle; did appreciate the wooden rounds in the boggy spots.









 
Everybody sounded keen to do it again ... probably before next Easter!

So special thanks to those who dreamed it and all who worked on the Trail.
