with Heinz Unger
June 21, 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Hidden Creek (Meeting at the Transalta Road turnoff – details will be emailed to participants)
Difficulty: Moderate to difficult (15 km, mainly flat but with off-trail hiking)

Bring your hiking gear and explore a little-known hidden area with wildflower meadows, mixed forests, fish-carrying streambeds and wetlands. The goal of the adventure is to hike on a rough outfitters’ trail along the creek and then take a cutline track to the Margaret Lake. There’s some trail finding and creek jumping involved, but we are unlikely to encounter other hikers.

The Ghost/Waiparous Region has a poor reputation because of heavy and poorly controlled OHV use, but this is an opportunity to see the quiet beauty of this area. The wildflowers in the meadows should be at their peak.

This is a brand-new hike in the Ghost region!

About the Coordinator: Heinz has lived in the Ghost Valley for 25 years, enjoys hiking the backcountry and still finds new trails (with the help of other old timers). By joining in you will also help Heinz achieve his “60 Challenge” which is to lead at least 60 hikers out into the Ghost Country in the summer of 2025.
