Route Description for Kenna Cartwright Ridge Trail
Hiking the Kenna Cartwright Ridge Trail is a great way to get some uphill hiking exercise in, while soaking up the amazing views that the landscape surrounding Kamloops has to offer. Setting out from the parking area, make your way along the trail as it begins to climb uphill to a junction. Take the path to the left to begin the loop portion of the hike that begins next to a stretch of forest before opening up into some more exposed terrain. At the northwest corner of the route, you will begin to hike along a steeper section of the trail that will lead you up onto the top of the ridge. From here, traverse the ridgeline and take in the amazing views, as you head to the east on a route that leads over Mount Dufferin towards the viewpoint. Once there, you will experience an awesome sightline over the city and far out into the valley below. Head right along the trail to descend the ridge and make the return journey back to the parking area.
