Route Description for Mara Mountain Cliffs South Hike
The Mara Mountain Cliffs South Hike is a great way to get some leg burning exercise and take in some breathtaking views of the Kamloops area in the process. Setting out from the parking area, follow the trail to the east as it utilizes the Mara Loop Trail to climb up through the rolling terrain. After crossing over several streams and meeting up with a junction at the northern tip of the loop, follow the trail to the right to set out on a course towards the summit of the mountain. Continue along the trail to the northeast until you reach Massey Lake, then turn to the south to begin the climb uphill to the summit. This final push will see you gain 200 m of elevation, but the amazing views from the lookout at the top of the peak will definitely be worth the effort. After taking in the commanding view of the scenic river valley. Head back along the trail and complete the Mara Loop portion of the hike to return to the parking area below.
