DIFFICULT HIKE (WITH CHALLENGING ROCK SCRAMBLING)
NOTE: This will be an EXPLORATORY hike as I have never done this one before.
This is a steep trail with some challenging rock scrambling. Starting through the forest, the trail eventually opens up with some nice vistas before reaching a number of the rock scrambles. Only experienced hikers should sign up for this hike. No guests allowed. This hike will be postponed or cancelled if the weather forecast is not great.
Length: 9 km round trip

Driving Directions
Drive north from Hope on Highway 5 (Coquihalla Highway) to the Zopkios Ridge rest area at Exit 217 (unmarked). It will be approximately 3km after you go through the avalanche tunnel. Instead of turning under the highway towards the rest area, turn right as though you're heading towards the nearby highway maintenance shed. Look for a small gravel pipe-line service
