Whitebark pine is an important species in the upper subalpine ecosystem. It has a positive impact on watersheds by regulating streams flows, and it provides food, cover and breeding habitat for various wildlife species. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the ecology and health of the whitebark pine in the Castle area.
Saturday September 15 - Middle Kootenay Pass - Leader Sue Guerra
This moderate hike promises spectacular fall colors we make our way from the upper part of the West Castle Valley road to Middle Kootenay Pass and on to a series of three BC lakes. Good chance for huckleberries along the trail, but also be aware that this is prime grizzly country. We’ll have lunch at the largest and uppermost lake situated in a picturesque alpine bowl flanked by larch on the south shore. Depending on the group and weather, we may proceed up to the ridge. For those interested in fly-fishing, the lake has an abundance of small cutthroat trout…please have a BC sport fishing license and practice catch-and release.
Approximately 10k m round trip and 400 m elevation variation to the lake.
To register, call hike leader Susan Guerra 403-526-9415 or 403-528-6717 before noon on Sept. 14 (out of cell service area after this time)
