Hikes

Eleven hikers came out on a breezy morning to hike the trail along Kopp Lake. It’s an easy trail full of park-like landscapes interleaved with walks through woods.

The trees are still a week away from showing their leaves. That’s why it’s so easy right now to spot a nest in a bush…and view a moss that looks furry at a distance because it’s covered in fine sprouts.

Thanks to Lee for scouting and leading the hike and to the landowners for their continuing support. You can see all the photos on Flickr.

Twelve people came out to hike the trail at Wanisan ending at Meadow Shelter in the Blackfoot Recreation Area. It was not a sunny day, but the temperature was just right for the end of winter.

At the Wanisan Stopover, visitors had been using their creative crafting skills to mimic mushrooms from wood chips and “ornaments” from snowballs.

While we were still in the Wanisan area, we heard some coyotes making a long, shrill howl that was clearly a mating call. We stopped in our tracks to listen.

On the return, we took the snowmobile track along the lake and stopped at the blind at the lake’s edge.
