Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park - Hike to Cosens Bay Beach

 We all drove to Kalamalka Provincial Park (day use only) for a hike.

The balsamroot were still blooming.

A little past their prime but still lovely.  I missed it but a rattlesnake was sighted. It slicked into rock before I got there.

We got a little lost but eventually reached our destination, Cosens Bay Beach.  Shoulda brought the bathing suits.  We had lunch on the beach.

It was a hot climb up the switchbacks on a treeless climb back to the parking lot.

Back in 2021 we hiked to the same place but we came from another parking lot.
