Yesterday (Sunday, May 1), I joined the Hike for Hospice on a hike up the Enderby Cliffs, hosted by the Shuswap Hopsice Society in partnership with the Shuswap Trail Alliance.
A gorgeous day for a hike, we started mid morning up the mountain. We hiked just over 14.5 km and 2200 vertical feet (in about six and a half hours but there were some who did it in five hours). The new trail, finished last fall, was in good shape and accessible by most people. Not only did we have just under 40 people for the Hospice Hike but we met dozens of other people on the trail! All in all it was a great hike and they did an excellent job making sure that everyone could hike at their own speed and that no one was left behind.
I didn`t get many pics this round except for a few at certain view points, so as not to slow the group down. There was also a really thick haze, so even with clean-up, some of the pics aren`t as clear as I would like.
The Monument
A nice view point a little ways up.

Down the valley.
There is still snow...
An interesting tree
The TOP!!!! You can see Shuswap Lake.
And Okanagan Lake.
The North Okanagan Valley
Definitely a few sore places today. Will be interesting to compare this hike with a repeat of the cliffs in the fall.
Has anyone else hiked the new trail ? What do you think of it?
