Welcome to the
KNC HIKING Group!
Please consider joining us for our Friday September 30, 2022 hike at Myra-Bellvue PP, on the Pink Highway, Rose Lookout and Earring trails.
We "take a hike" every other Friday morning (weather-permitting). To review our hiking rules, please click here: Hiking Group Rules and Guidelines.pdf. Please note that attendance is limited to 12 hikers - please register early to ensure a spot. The waitlist is enabled, so if you register, but cannot attend, please cancel your registration (by logging into your KNC profile), so the next person on the waitlist can be registered.
Our approx. 3 or more hour hikes will generally depart at 9:00 a.m. from a variety of locations - from Lake Country in the north to Peachland in the south, and sometimes farther afield. Please review each hike's details, as the level of effort will vary from hike to hike, and may increase in effort as the weeks proceed.
Registration reminder: We've turned 'on' the registration button to help us collect contact information solely for the purpose of creating an attendance list with contact detail. If you are unable to attend the hike, after booking, please go into your calendar in the Kiri system and cancel your registration. If there is a waitlist for the hike, this will enable the next person on the list to be automatically registered.

Pink Highway and Rose Lookout
Pink Highway and Rose Lookout is a 10.1 kilometre, 355 metre elevation gain loop trail located in Myra Bellevue Provincial Park is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and running. The estimated time for completing this hike is 3 hours and 20 minutes.
Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park was established to provide increased representation of the North Okanagan Basin and North Okanagan Highlands eco sections by capturing the full elevational range from the outskirts of Kelowna eastward to the crest of the mountains.
Your hike leader will be at the Stewart Road East Access Point trailhead at 8:45 a.m. to meet our hikers, and begin the hike promptly at 9:00 a.m. This road accesses the lower elevation portion of the protected area popular with mountain bikers. If weather conditions are such that the decision is made to cancel the hike, it will be done so the morning of the hike, so please keep an eye on your email. We will also, prior to leaving the parking lot, have a short discussion of hike expectations and we welcome all comments and suggestions.
