June 12, 2012 Skirt Mountain Viewpoints

We followed the track below but didn't do the furthest viewpoint this time. This hike is really good for cardio exercise and has some really interesting viewpoints.

Not to mention the exotic fox-glove grove!

I said not to mention that!

Directions
Carpoolers should leave the centre at 9:15, and those meeting at the trailhead should be at the car park at the north end of Brock Avenue at 9:30.

Here's the Google map with directions to the trail head.

This is a really interesting hike with some of the best and most interesting viewpoints around.  There are some short cardio sections getting up to the viewpoints, and the associated descents are just as steep on the way down as they were on the way up.  However, the views are worth the effort.

Here are Dwayne's pictures of the recon we did on Saturday, May 19, 2012.

Here's the MotionX track of the hike.
