Corinne T and Bob T checked out the Blue Grouse Basin trail for a possible NACTS Group Hike in later September. This is a beautiful, but lightly travelled trail in the NE corner of Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. The trail has been recently cleared by Parks Crew and is in good condition with all falls and brush at knee height and above cleared. The trail is easy to follow anlthough a few spots could use some repair and grading. The 5.2 km (one way) trail climbs 800 m up steep slopes through forest most of the way with partial views down the valley on the way up. The basin itself is very pretty with a couple of dried tarns at the base of the mountainous amphitheatre. While well worth the 12 km drive up the well maintained  Enterprise Creek FSR for access (30 minutes from pavement to TH), the hike is too steep and strenuous to consider for a group hike. For strong hikers it is a must!
