When it has rained in the last day or when rain is imminent, we sometimes head to the Sage – Panorama – Arnica Trail loop for a moderate 3.5 km hike.   The views are rewarding and we can complete the hike in about 1.25 hours.   The trailhead starts on Bunker Road behind the recycling bins.

Sage Trail to Panorama Trail is an easy route to rewarding views.   Kamloops Lake lies to the west.   Battle Bluff is on the north side and the lake bears WNW for 20 km before turning west at Six Mile Point.

To the north is the North Thompson River Valley.

Rabbit Island is 600 ft. below in the middle of the Thompson River.

Directly below the TRU Connector Trail are the fluted ridges down to the river.

To the east is the confluence of the North Thompson River and the South Thompson river just past Overlander Bridge.

When other trails are muddy, this trail has good sand content and drains well, a good choice for an after-the-rains hike.
