Raft Mountain Traverse - Kamloops Trails

Raft Mountain Traverse – Kamloops Trails

Doug Smith  August 17, 2021 at 9:00 am

I have hiked Raft Mountain (above Clearwater)a few times and on two of those occasions I did the Raft Mountain Traverse.   The hike to the top of Raft Mountain is straightforward, but the traverse involves some scrambling, especially between Raft 1 and Raft 2, then to Raft 3.   Then, on the way back from Raft 5, the descent to Willis Lake and the trailhead is off-trail and challenging.   This video shows a number of images along the route:

We will be back to hike to the summit of Raft Mountain again soon.

Doug writes for Kamloops Trails, a not-for-profit (and ad free) website, offering information on trails, waterways, routes, featured spots, viewpoints, and explorations in the outdoors in the Kamloops area (and beyond).

Doug started exploring this area in 1976 and continues 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, he chose to share this information.

The Kamloops Trails website has a massive number of interesting posts and would be of interest to anyone in Kamloops who enjoys the outdoors. Visit the Kamloops Trails website at: http://www.kamloopstrails.ca/
