Distance: 18km
Elevation Gain: 655m; More than 300 species of plants bloom in these meadows, ensuring you'll enjoy a dazzling display of wildflowers along this trail. The best time to go is late July through mid-August, although peak flower season varies, depending on the year. You'll get awe-inspiring views, too, of distant peaks, including the distinctive pyramid of Mt. Assiniboine, plus a fabulous overlook to Egypt Lake. PLEASE NOTE:Sorry this is not a "slowpoke hike". We will be hiking at a "Moderate Pace", so if you're a Speed Deamon this is probably not for you.
PLEASE NOTE:If you have not hiked before with alot of elevation or distance, it is highly recommended that you start with a hike with less elevation or distance. Always remember to hike within your own ability. Sorry no runners. | |||||||
