Coquihalla Summit
An impromptu day in the mountains with the kids. Needle is one of the most accessible peaks we have near us (two hours from Kelowna): a good trail straight off the Coquihalla highway. There are two sections of scrambling. Neither is particularly difficult, but the first is tricky enough that today it dissuaded a heap of hikers from going any further (and would've dissuaded us if we hadn't brought rope for the kids). Happily, this left the top of the mountain – including the nicest bit of hiking before the final scramble to the top – for us to enjoy alone. 5 1/2hrs return, at 7-year-old speed.Participants: Eloïse, Simon, Pip and Aaron
