Hi everyone,

How is your summer going so far?  Hope you are enjoying these great summer days with family, friends, and new acquaintances.  Just came across a great opportunity for you to do with your family and friends in a few weeks.  Below you will find an invitation from Dave Urness…..what a great way to experience the great out doors – maybe we’ll see each other there

Summer has arrived and once again it is time to announce this years summer alpine destination!

 For those not aquainted, each year for the past 4 we have organized a great outing into the local mountains. Previous examples include: 

Twin Lakes in the Pinnacle range of the Monashees (2006), Skaha Bluffs Penticton (2007), Little White Mountain (2008). So now for the drum roll, this years destination will be…

 Where: Needle Peak! Location, Coquihalla Highway adjacent the old toll booth.

When: Saturday July 25th

This is a stupendous day trip and allows for two enjoyable options:

1) Hiking trail to the sublime alpine meadows and basin filled with lakes famed for great skiing in the winter or

2) The peak itself – an invigorating scramble to the summit of Needle peak

 This trip is geared for most abilities and kids and families are welcome. For a copy of the gear list for the day, please contact me. Fitness should be reasonable being that you should be able to do regular walks without any health complications. This isn’t a trip for super athletes only, as I don’t organize trips like that for groups. I am interested in sharing with as many as possible the marvels of our BC mountains. A great way to join in community, fellowship and connect.

 All questions can be forwarded to me at daveali@telus.net or by phone at 250-762-8586

 Please RSVP with me by July 18th.

 Dave Urness
