Seems you can't turn a corner here without coming across more beauty.
Spent a bit of time up in Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park the other day, great spot for hiking and exploring. I'm planning on heading back up there soon and spending a couple of nights (and, y'know, actually being prepared and not heading up an old road on a whim)

. Kokanee is about 15mins north of Nelson, this section of the part is up a well maintained/well signposted FSR.

It's a bit of a climb up, but the road was pretty decent. Was thankful to have a little bit of clearance in my car though.

Beautiful, right?
What tripped me out was seeing this sign up top and having to fence my car off.

+ token selfie ;P

Anyone around the Kootenays chasing a hiking bud should hit me up!

oooooooooooo these are some amazing spots..

& educational on the porcupine upkeep

did you pack the fencing in? I figure they sell it at the local hardware store?

Damn, that's beautiful.
I can also vouch for the porcupine thing. People say boars and hogs will eat anything, but porcupines are like little spiky savages with a serious case of Pica.

They actually had everything you need up there, heaps of chicken wire and rocks/sticks were everywhere.

Who knew porcupines were such a-holes?

Cheers Juls, we should go adventuring again when we're back in the same country
...and anyone that got any part of their car chewed through would be fucked! It's a long, rough walk back!
