Buse Hill Hike - Kamloops Trails

Buse Hill Hike – Kamloops Trails

Doug Smith  June 2, 2023 at 8:40 am

A good hike in spring is the route to the top of Buse Hill.   The trail starts on the Robbins Range Road and climbs to the top of the steep bluffs looking east.    Buse Protected Area (BC Parks) includes Buse Lake and Buse Hill.    We hiked up the main double track for 2 km to the viewpoint, then explored some side routes.   All photos by the author.   Click an image for a lightbox view and a caption.

From the top of the hill the Buse Pillar stands to the west.    A single track trail can be hiked over to the area above the pillar.   The cliffs extend east and west overlooking Barnhartvale and the South Thompson River Valley.    On a day with good weather, the views extend in 3 directions.

About KamloopsTrails

I started exploring this area in 1976 and I continue to follow tracks and routes wherever they lead, with the aid of map, compass, GPSr and camera. After many dead-ends, but also many discoveries, I chose to share this information. Getting out 12 months each year, I continue to explore trails, tracks, routes, and waterways of the Kamloops area and beyond.
