Activity Hiking
Destination Mine Lake Bluff
Date 18 November 2015, Wednesday
Trip Coordinator Julie Mellanby
Contact Info phone 3978.  Please contact the coordinator in advance.
Description Park near the Mine Lake boat access and walk to Camp Homewood.  From there the route ascends the bluff to the north of Mine Lake with great views — and the weather forecast is very good.  The trail going up the bluff can feel a bit exposed.  This is a hike, not a climb, but do have good footwear and be careful.  The trail down is a regular trail and it loops back underneath the bluffs to the start of the steep bit.  You could go up the down trail, but don’t try to go down the up trail.
Meeting Place Heriot Bay Tru Value parking lot
Departure Time 09:30
Difficulty moderate
Costs none
Trip limits none
Dogs? yes
Notes: Bring lunch.
