Abby Grind to Taggert Peak to Sumas Peak
Lots of people on the grind and no one beyond that until the Sumas Peak.
Intermittent views across the river valley as you cruise along and up the ridge to Taggert where you pop out at an Amateur Radio HAM/SAR Repeater Station.. then you head up the hill slightly to another station... to reach the top of Taggert and a decent view up the valley towards Chilliwack. Then you drop down the road until you hit another road that ascends Sumas (gated up higher) .. at this point you start up a MTB trail to your right named Knob Gobbler :) This will take you all the way to the peak of Sumas.
Easy day out... about 16km round trip with shallow snow from 650m until you reach about 850m in elevation where it was about 10cm deep. Micro-spikes were helpful on the return trip on the steeper sections.
This might be a good winter snowshoe if avalanche conditions keep you away from better destinations.
A good day out for a weekday.
Be safe and have fun.
Regards,
Rex
