Description | Planning four days of hiking on beautiful Cortes Island, staying at Linnaea Farm House. This is an eight bedroom rustic farmhouse, on the edge of Gunflint Lake at the gateway to many of the hiking trails on Cortes. This is an active farm & was once the residence of the farmers who ran ‘Lakeview Dairy’, the last raw milk in B.C. Many beautiful trails on Cortes, Green Mountain, Easter Bluff, Kw’as Park, Sisken Forest Park, Carrington Trails etc. The schedule of trails will be developed presented daily with your input. This year we want to spend one day in Kw’as Park, we always ran out of time. Pot-luck dinners will be organized, using the farmhouse kitchen. Please check: www.linnaeafarm.org |
