OspreyTrailLEG5591The Osprey Trail nature walk is a short hike through an almost enchanted forest, to Kibbee Creek and along the banks of the northeast end of the Bowron Lake. Stay close to the ground and you will come across wild flowers, small animals, birds and the site of a native village (reminents exist but are well hidden). Along the trail is a beaver camp - click to see a slideshow - or a 360 panorama
