Cooney Bay in January - Kamloops Trails

Cooney Bay in January – Kamloops Trails

Doug Smith  February 28, 2024 at 9:00 am

When the temperatures warmed up, the snow started to melt in the bottom of the valley.     Some areas had some ice, slush, or mud, but the most open areas dried more quickly.    At the end of January, the road to Cooney Bay was difficult, with deep puddles and mud.     The parking area was muddy and there was slush, ice, and mud along the rivershore to get past before it dried out on the beaches. 

The hike continued along the lakeshore to the top of the bluff.   

To the west, Battle Bluff stood out over Kamloops Lake.  

A few moments on the route are featured here.    Click an image for a lightbox view and a caption.

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.
