Trail Description

Thanks to Summit Trail makers this trail was benched and rerouted in 2018 after being sanctioned by the province. Only 35 mins from Invermere this is a popular trail early season trail that locals flock to. The trail head can be tricky to find and has changed a lot since Invermere Hikes book was published. Gets you up really high to 2500m about 750m higher than Swansea.We saw 18 locals and 4 Kimberly folk the day we went up. Snow free by mid June one of the earliest alpine walks to open up.
