updated 2 weeks ago
The Steliko Lookout trail is currently snow-free as of October 27. The road to the lookout is suitable for all vehicles and was not closed, contrary to a posted notice. Visitors should be aware that the portable propane heater is missing, and the main heater's pilot light was found extinguished and needed relighting. Future visitors are asked to ensure the pilot light remains on. While the surrounding hills received a dusting of snow, the access road is expected to close for the season soon.
