a saturday trip up spion kopje

a nice sunny saturday morning. tom and i decided to hike up spion kopje near my house. not much to say. nice trail, not many people. hailstorm on the way down.

good times.

i can see my house.

They are thinking about turning this area into a park.  that would keep the dirt bikes off it, and more importantly, keep the crazy development of houses at the bottom at bay.

tom on the ridge.

we were below the snow line, but not by much, as you can tell from the mountains across the lake.

on the way down.  okanagan lake on the right, wood lake on the left.  my house in the middle.

Adventures don't need to have 4wd.  another good weekend in the books. 

spion kopje. near my house. with my brother. and naomi. and snow.

Not far from my house (like 5 km) is spion kpoje. its a small mountain with some houses at the bottom. It's not a long hike, but there are tons of trails. It was a great place to spend the afternoon.

naomi on the way up

its a place i've been quite a few times before, usually on my bike.  we stuck to the wider trails, but still had a big climb time.

The best views are looking south, towards kelowna.
