In late winter the Sage Trails area from Bunker Road was clear of snow and ice.     On cooler days, the ground was frozen so there was no mud either.    The trails can be combined for a loop route that takes 60 – 75 minutes and there are fine views at several points along the way. 

Wisps of fog garlanded Mt. Peter across the valley. 

Off the Panorama Trail, Rabbit Island and the Thompson River were below on the north side.    Mt. Peter, Mt. Paul, and the Dome Hills stood above fog to the northeast. 

This is a scenic hike.    Click an image for a lightbox view and a caption.
