ANGEL SPRINGS ~ An epic Adventure of Snow, rock and Ice!!!

in #hiking8 years ago (edited)

For this next Adventure We're headed to Angel Springs! This area is located in Kelowna BC , Canada and can be accessed via two trail heads. The Trail parallels a canyon Featuring many interesting rock formations on both sides. The forest en-route includes Douglas-fir, Lodgepole Pine, Western Larch and Western Red Cedars. The weather is sunny and warm, perfect timing for a trek into the woods!

The trail network is nestled in between two high rock faces, which display a variety of colors. rock, moss, ice and snow. The ice formations are here are absolutely incredible!!!

There are these pools in the creek all along the way. They create such a unique atmosphere. This area is stunning!!! Can't wait to see what's around every corner, so much to explore in many different nooks and crannies. I feel like a kid the candy store...

The contrasted light really creates a magical feel to this place. I feel as though i'm in some sort of woodsie faerie tale. I feel so connected to nature being in among the trees. It's very quiet here, nobody to be seen around. The stillness of the winter brings such a sense of calm.

The trail has been on a steady incline, so the snow levels have been slowly increasing. by this point it's becoming a bit more challenging, but well worth the effort!!!

Walking on a frozen creek while watching the water rushing underneath your feet is quite the experience! There's big air bubbles that sometimes pass by slowly...truly mesmerizing! I spent a bit of time here just checking out everything, not one of those experiences i'll easily forget.

Looks like there's some rock climbing areas around here, I could imagine this would be a fantastic place to climb! Upon venturing another 5 minutes down the trail the snow became extremely deep and there were signs of mudslides with huge amounts of snow that had slid down the mountain.

Even though I really wanted to make it all the way to Angel Springs, I decided to turn back. The trail completely disappeared by this point with no signs of which direction to go in. this has been a GREAT adventure all around and I already can't wait to come back in the spring when the snow melts!

"Art does not imitate nature, but it founds itself on the study of nature - takes from nature the selections which best accord with its own intention, and then bestows on them that which nature does not possess, viz. the mind and the soul of man." -Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

I haven't been to Kelowna, heck, I haven't been to Vancouver but the airport 😂

I like being hermit I guess, big cities scare me

Wait, you got tons of snow too in Kelowna????

Thank you!!! Glad you liked my images. Yes there's piles of snow in the area. I'm actually in Vernon which is about 45 mins north of Kelowna but my family lives there and there's TONS of trails all over the place! I think we have more snow in Vernon though.
