Hiking for a Good Cause
Summer hikes in the Selkirks raise awareness about a special place.
Hike on a durable surface
We're often asked why we organize hikes to take people into pristine areas such as the high mountain lakes of the Selkirk Mountains.
Sure, there's an impact every time people travel in the great outdoors. But having group hikes is also a way to deepen appreciation for the backcountry and teach people how to tread lightly on the landscape.
This summer, we teamed up with Selkirk Outdoor Leadership and Education to lead a couple of Leave No Trace hikes in the Selkirks, both to already popular lakes: Roman Nose and Harrison.
SOLE's hike leaders shared valuable lessons about recognizing and reducing one's impact and following the seven Leave No Trace principles. Check out this short video that our summer intern, Tess Howell, made from the Roman Nose hike.
You can also learn what a special place the Selkirk Mountains are without even going there. Simply join us at 5:30 pm, Thursday, Sept. 9, at the Pend d'Oreille Winery for a special slide show and celebration of our backyard paradise, the American Selkirks.
A Warm SOLE Thank You!
