Trail Description

A 4.6 km round trip which is essentially a short walk through the forest. It is best enjoyed on a hot summer day, as this trail can provide some cool relief. The trail starts by crossing Sinclair Creek on a small footbridge. That’s followed by a slight elevation gain. It then parallels Redstreak Creek, crossing it at one point before reaching the base of Redstreak Mountain. This trail definitely ends with a whimper, not a bang, just a sign announcing that you have reached “Trail End.”
