And she’s climbing a stairway to heaven …

Tricia Jo Webster

This afternoon the hills were alive with critters, wildflowers and sweaty, dirty city folks hoping to erase a day’s worth of grind from their minds — on pedal-powered wheels and on foot.

Worked for me. The hubs and I spent close to an hour climbing up and scurrying down the winding trails behind Camp Sekani (which I think is part of a much larger fun zone known as Beacon Hill recreation area). During our trek we passed countless bike jumps and impressive technical features created by an industrious group of two-wheel trail riders.

This one was my favorite of all those we came across:

FYI: It mighta been built for wheels, but it’s pretty dang fun for feet to run up, too.

Find the Camp Sekani entrance on the north side of Upriver Drive, just west of Boulder Beach.
