Coal Hill Ramble - Kamloops Trails

Coal Hill Ramble – Kamloops Trails

Doug Smith  June 28, 2023 at 8:52 am

There are several route choices for Coal Hill.    On a drizzly, grey morning I chose to start from Aberdeen and work my way to the top of the hill using trails and some cross-country sections, avoiding fences, and leaving no trace.

The route was through douglas fir forest and up sagebrush grassland slopes.

The steady climb is about 2.2 km with about 220 m of elevation gain.   All photos by the author.   Click an image for a lightbox view. 

We hope to get up to the top of Coal Hill in the fall, probably from the northwest.    A few moments are caught in this YouTube video:

 

 

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.
