| no partners | | The trails around Thetis Lake and nearby consist of well-maintained (partially "paved")main routes which are marked. There are also innumerable unmarked trails through dense foliage and which connect either to the main trails and/or nearby local roads.
I haven't posted the GPS tracks. No GPS is required, although some of the marked trails have confusing signage and you should have a general idea of which they are (or a map of the Regional Park). Elevation changes throughout the trail system are minimal and consist of mostly short up-and-down hills. Despite close proximity to the suburban neighborhoods, I found the trails nearly devoid of man or beast on weekday mornings.
This was a wonderful change from desert hiking with lots of greenery, and very little by the way of obstacles. You can avoid the $2.25 per day parking fee by taking advantage of parking along Highland Road (off the pavement) and entering the park (as well as Pike Lake and McKenzie Lake)via the trails which terminate along that road.
Although Thetis Lake is the primary trail, I found the more northern trails in and about the park to be of greater interest. Easy hiking, with surprisingly ample solitude. |
