Salt Spring June Planning

June 5-7 for a first outing this year, and we’re heading back to Salt Spring. Last year we took the red trail I mapped out in my Google Map above. This year, I think we’ll try taking the Hemlock Trail south and see where it ends. If it merges with the Fall Brook Trail above the last waterfall (or if the trail is passable this year), we’ll continue down across Buckley Road and merge onto the Bunny Trail. Depending on how we are set for time, I’d like to try to continue around Bunny and hop (ha!) onto the Cliff Trail and reach the Frog Pond area. (Round trip: just under 6 miles)
If the trail past the third waterfall on Fall Brook is washed out again, we can turn around and head east along Hardwood Trail, then merge onto Upland Trail and follow that back around to the trailhead. From there, we can head west along the Silver Creek Trail, check out the old wall, and continue on around to the Meadow Trail, then head back. (Round trip: just over 5 miles)
