Overview
This is a moderate out and back trail in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park.
Lots of off chutes of this trail make it confusing. A general rule that works is stay right from on your way up. If you are gaining lots of elevation you are going the wrong way as this is a fairly flat trail. Takes you to a bowl and you can see pocaterra ridge and the rock arch of Tyrwitt.

Pretty trail in larch season (mid sept) but kind of boring the rest of the year. Lots of off chutes of this trail make it confusing. A general rule that works is stay right from on your way up.

Huddy’s first real hike with Johny and Sable! Happy Huddy on the way up, sad Huddy on the way down. Took about 15-20 min snack break and forgot to turn track off for 10-15 mins!
