Oct 09, our Hike to Lakit Lookout (with Overnight Stay)
This was the first time I had visited the little lodge at Lakit Lookout. We met lots of day hikers coming down as we hiked up. It’s understandable why, at less than a one hour drive and a 90 minute hike at my snail’s pace! It’s so easy from Kimberley to be on top of the world in the Rockies in no time - and without any complicated equipment… ok maybe a vehicle with four wheel drive for the Forest Service Road. Once you’re at the top the views are amazing. There were six of us in total cooking dinner at the lodge and sleeping over on the floor! There’s a stove and lots of chairs in the lodge but only one “bed” of sorts. It definitely makes you appreciate Mountain Spirit’s home comforts on return! The next day, the sunrise was spectacular and the hike down was great, an amazing start to your day in the Kootenay Rockies.
