Last week a Scout Island Naturalist trip out to a new bike trail built by the Soda Creek Band was cancelled due to Thundershowers, so our intrepid Wednesday walkers group thought we'd check it out on our own.
The trail goes down from the old (closed) Soda Creek Emporium past the village and down to the Fraser River near X'atsull Heritage Village. We set up a shuttle so we wouldn't have to hike back uphill.
While setting up the shuttle we stopped at a fabulous viewpoint overlooking the heritage village. See the reconstructed potholes in the right forefront of the photo?
It turned out to be a very easy 40 minute downhill walk with great views to the river, nice wildflowers, and we saw quite a few birds so it would have made a great naturalist hike. We detoured around the bike stunts! We probably should have walked back uphill to get a bit more exercise. It's been a rainy June so, of course, the mosquitos were out in force!
We were rewarded with this view
