On the night of Christmas Eve, 2022 I got the idea to hike to this cabin I so fondly enjoy visiting.  The cabin known as 'Kinghorn Cabin', was built in the early 1980's by a man named Jim Kinghorn.  In 1959, Jim and his wife Mary bought two quarter sections of land, numbers 56 and 63 which were 160 acres each.  The family called this the Tree Farm because from 1959 to 1971 Jim planted , pruned, and cut Christmas trees each year to make enough money to pay the taxes on the property.  Jim and his family spent many days walking the area, exploring the views, and thoroughly becoming one with the forest. 
 Jim and Mary sold and donated some of Section 56 to make a park in 1973.  Then in 2008 they sold and donated all of Section 63 for an addition to Mt.Work Regional Park.  These two parcels of land were acquired through TLC (The Land Conservancy) and then given to the CRD (Capital Regional District) to be part of Mt.Work Park. 
 It was Jim’s wish that many could enjoy this beautiful cabin and all the acreage surrounding it as he had for many years.  He created the trails, roads and bridges on the property.  If you visit this cabin or come across any others similar to it while out exploring, please remember to respect them and always leave them cleaner than they were when you arrived.
