Realizing Potential. For All Women.
Outdoors Club
During the non-winter months, this group takes weekly hikes on various trails in and around Vernon, of which there are a significant number. There may also be a possibility of a swim. The activity occurs on Fridays, usually starting at 9:30 am in the warmer summer months and 10 am otherwise, at a location chosen by the group leader but suggestions for locations are always welcome.
With the arrival of snow, the Friday schedule is maintained but the group switches to snowshoeing. There are a number of snowshoe trails within Sovereign Provincial Park or Silver Star Mountain that the group frequents.
Whether hiking or snowshoeing, an effort is made to carpool to make getting to the chosen destination easier for the participants. Additionally, depending on schedules, at the conclusion of the activity, members stop somewhere for coffee.
Having fun in the great outdoors!
In 2023, Greater Vernon received the title, “Trails Capital of BC”, an official mark obtained following a successful application by the Regional District of the North Okanagan and the Ribbons of Green Society under the Canadian Trademarks Act. The pictures below reflect only a few of many diverse trails that members of the “Hiking Club” have traversed. The titles reflect the general geographic location of the trails, although many of the them follow various portions of Vernon’s famous Grey Canal.
