Thanks guys.

I never even knew about this particular area until I was asked to remove the hazard trees from around the cabins and it?s only a 20 minute drive from my regular route! The land is municipally owned and borders on provincial park land. The over 100 cabins are owned by the municipality, but leased long term to the public. Many have been handed down by family members as the cabins were originally built in the 30?s.

The area we?re in is mainly old-growth comprised of amabilis fir, yellow cedar, western hemlock and mountain hemlock. The growing season is short compared to lower down, we were at about 3000 feet today. I was told the snow didn?t leave till well into June.

Yes that?s the dunny, it?s so high because of the snow. This past winter they only had 12 feet; our guide, who?s lived there for over 20 years, says in the past there has been over 20 feet of snow!
