Summerland Wonderland Trail Similitude-1

 

Up into Summerland on Wonderland Trail the Journey Begins

Hiking the Wonderland Trail in its entirety has always been a dream.  At this moment time is just a short in and out was all that was written in the trail dust for me.  It was a perfect summer day for doing ten miles in my hiking clothes, brook trout patterned leggings and a matching brook trout fishing hoodies.
