Our 3rd day we drove 20 minutes into Kamloops to check out some parks in the area. We circumnavigated Kenna Cartwright Park, located just west of Costco as you drive into town. Leo has run several trail races here before but we found some new trails this time. We hit the park at the peak of both the Saskatoon and balsamroot blossoming.
Also present, if less conspicuous, were shooting stars:
The trails wound around Mt. Dufferin with great outlooks over the city,
Then further along the Kamloops Reserve,
the dump and sewage lagoons,
And lastly, the Regional Correction Centre.
They were also working on the oil pipeline right beside the park. Our tax dollars in action!
Twenty years ago the mountain pine beetle killed off all the mature Ponderosa pine in the park,
But now the young pine are really filling in the slopes.
