Hiking to Mackenzie Meadows

8/29/2023

 
Light drizzle didn't stop our group of 9 hikers from heading into the back country to explore Mackenzie and Douglas Lakes and the Mackenzie Meadows.

Down a logging road and deep in Strathcona Park, beautiful primary forests line the streams and lakes in the area. Many spots of historic interest dot the route: wooden route signs made decades ago; a cairn in memory of pioneer William Douglas; a wilderness hut well-equipped for a short stay; and a Sportspal canoe, repaired many times, that must have been used to travel down Mackenzie Lake years ago.

​It was fun to enjoy lunch at the central campsite of the fabled Forbidden Plateau Traverse Trail.
