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.
