Stu and I had a "nice little hike" over the past 2 days, something both of us have been thinking about for awhile now: the Silverspray to Woodbury traverse.Sipverspray and Woodbury are two alpine or sub-alpine cabins in Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park's eastern regions. The idea is to hike to one cabin, then route-find your way to the other cabin, crossing several ridges and several deep valleys, all filled with anything from small to huge granite boulders.
It was a short traverse for us - about 4.5 hours cabin to cabin (not including the hike in to Silverspray and the hike out from Woodbury), but the way was pretty easy to figure out. The route was generally rough and steep, but nothing too unusual for the Kootenays. Despite some potential weather concerns, the two days were stellar so we were able to enjoy the scenery along the way. And all within a 20 km drive from home....
