Dewdrop Range Trail Description

Hiking the Dewdrop Range Trail is a fun but challenging experience in the Kamloops area that will test your resolve and reward you with some breathtaking views across the Thompson Valley. Setting out from the trailhead, the route climbs sharply uphill along a creek before working along a series of switchbacks up a ridge. From there, hikers will traverse the ridgeline and have an amazing sightline that sweeps across the valley with the blue expanse of Kamloops Lake directly below. After reaching the end of the trail at the forest, turn back and carefully make your descent along the ridge to return to the parking area below.
