We had beautiful spring conditions to snowshoe from Ramparts Hill. Warm and sunny, with good spring snow. We headed steeply up the hill from the parking area until we reached the open bluff with great views of the Forbidden Plateau mountains. We wandered along wide and narrow paths as well as untracked snow. We meandered down to another great viewpoint where we stopped for lunch. We continued on looking for the old cabin, but another group told us we wouldn’t find it because it has burned down. A piece of history gone. We continued east and south, with better views of the BC mainland mountains. In total we had views through about 270° from Mt. Albert Edward to Mt. Waddington. This was a beautiful day at a superb area for snowshoeing. The terrain and views couldn’t be better. 6.3 km, 3 hours
