Celebratory Hikes for International Year of Biodiversity:

Saturday, July 31, 2010 in the following two hikes:

1)      Middle Kootenay Pass, in the Castle region headwaters, is rated a moderately difficult hike, with a distance of 8 kilometers, duration of 3 to 4 hours, and elevation gain of 500 meters.  Believed to have been frequented by the Kootenay Indians, (possibly on account of the abundance of huckleberries, which ripen on the slopes in late August), the loop traverses the continental divide, and at its highest point, presents breathtaking 360 degree views of Syncline Mountain, the Livingstone Range, Barnaby Ridge and Rainy Ridge.  The summit plateau is lush with rhododendrums, beargrass, glacier lilies and other alpine flowers.  An extended ascent up Rainy Ridge presents views of the headwaters of Middle Pass Creek and several sub-alpine lakes.
