A cool natural line persists and stays the most popular downhill at
Kokanee, despite the long approach to get here. At the powerlines,
trail naturally merges with Doz Slabs, but heading left will take you to
the elusive real ending that comes out at the Kokanee Creek Provincial
Park-Redfish campground.
