This coming Saturday (November 25th), the Beez will hike Spion Kop in Lake Country.  The hike will start at 9 AM sharp from the trail head located on Old Mission Road (turn left onto Ponderosa Drive off the Pelmewash Parkway and then right onto Old Mission Road).  Click here for a map.   Those wishing to car pool can meet at Mission Creek Park (Leckie / Springfield entrance) at 8:15 AM latest.  From the summit of Spion Kop you will be able to see 5 lakes: Okanagan, Kalamalka, Wood,  Swan and Duck – a truly amazing sight and worth the climb.

The Killer Beez 2023 hiking season is well under way.  Here are some pictures from our recent hikes (thanks to Geoff):
