Webster Road Trail
A pleasant ramble through the forest to viewpoints over the Beaver Valley. This trail switchbacks up the hill with a nicely managed grade. Perfect for a short hike!
Columbia River Trail
A long connector between the Cities of Castlegar and Trail, the Columbia River Trail offers an extended hiking season and scenic river views. It’s most popular with trail runners and bikes, but hikers will enjoy exploring the historic Blagodatnoye Douhkobor settlement.
Deer Park Mountain
An early-season summit! The trail is faint to follow in places, but nicely graded as it ascends through open forest to huge views of Lower Arrow Lake....
Ymir Peak
Ymir Mountain is renowned for its powder, but it’s also a perfectly hike-able summer excursion. Achieving the summit involves following a difficult trail to traverse the boulders and scree in the Ymir Bowl, but the reward is ridge-line hiking with spectacular views!
Haystack Mountain
Haystack Mountain is a remote peak in the Purcell Mountain Range. The access road is long, but the trail offers hikers the chance to bag a peak or just enjoy the lakes and ridges surrounding the area. Come in the fall for golden larches!
West Kokanee Loop
Welcome to one of the newest trail networks in the West Kootenay! This alpine circuit offers ridgelines and summits, just outside of Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park.
Half Dome
For those that like a little more scramble, the Half Dome is a prominent landmark on Ymir Peak’s ridge with big panoramic views. The trail is still in development, so prepare for some route-finding as you pick your way along the ridge, using hands to scramble over the bluffs.
Larch Ridge Loop
Follow the mountain bike trails through the forest to a beautiful ridge with views over Trail and Rossland. Come in the summer for huckleberries or the fall for the golden larches.
Payne Bluffs (K&S Trail)
Following the old K&S (Kaslo and Sandon) Railway, this trail winds high from Sandon to the bluffs overlooking Three Forks. It visits several mine sites with interpretive signs sharing the region’s history.
Kimbol Lake
A forested trail, carpeted with moss and pillared with old growth trees. The subalpine lake is cradled in a steep valley with limited views but still a worthy destination.
