Story:
On May 16, 2010, 27 passionate people hiked from Sunningdale Sandhill Road along the first section of Clayden's Hidden Zip Line Trail then turned right and continued along the cliff section of the Hidden Zipline Trail to connect up with the Raven Cliff Trail.
JUNCTION: This second portion of the hike documents the trailhead junction where Raven Cliff Trail branches on to the 2nd and 3rd Swamp Trail.
The volunteer organizers of Will McInnis, Linda Weeks and I (Randy McCallum) asked the 24 hikers which trail they wanted to take at this junction point on the Raven Cliff Trail.
It was unanimous that all the hikers wanted to go to the 2nd Swamp on the 2nd and 3rd Swamp Trail. If we had of gone straight, we would have continued along the Raven Cliff Trail to wind up on the Raven Creek Trail which leads to the Canadian Flag and viewpoint above the Kootenay Boundary Trail Regional Hospital.
More information will posted later tonight (May 23, 2010)
