Canada day we decided to hike up the mountain goat trail, into okanagan mountain park and spend the night at divide lake. i may have promised an easy 2-3 hour hike. i was right about the 2-3 hours. not about the easy. it's called the mountain goat trail for a reason. that is was 38 degrees in a burnt out mountain didn't keep us cool at all.
Louie kindly shuttled us up to the top, where the 5 (4 people and a bronx) started up. and up. and up.
The whole mountain was burned out in 2003, and it's only now starting to get anything over a foot or two.
the skys were very blue, and i wore a lot of sunscreen. we all did. not one sunburn among us.

When we got to the top we stopped. set up a little camp, collected some firewood and just sat around. no climbing. we had a great diner, some beverages of an adult nature and went to sleep. a very good sleep.
in the morning we headed down and louie was waiting for us. thanks a ton louie. and thanks to sam for most of these pictures.
