Valemount

A steep climb into the Cariboo Mountains to a backcountry cabin and alpine lake.

Stay overnight in a cabin not far from the hwy. Hike leads to rugged and remote alpine basin and lakes.

Peaceful and lush with not much elevation.

The calming rush of the creek, the huge cedar trees, the lookout overlooking Valemount, the lichen, mushrooms and other plant life, plus a suspension bridge!

Is it Maui or Valemount? The Aloha trail is a recent addition to Valemount’s roster of hikes.

A calm and undulating trail with minimal elevation gain through mature forests and over a number of lovely creeks.

Waterfalls and alpine lakes with meadows brimming with alpine flowers in June/July.

The top has interesting rock formations and a ridge walk. Fabulous views of the valley and surrounding mountain peaks.

Observe tiny marsh critters – very close to info centre. Kid-friendly.

Sandy trail surrounded by sensitive lichen; good views of Mica Mountain

Wide paved trail around the village. Wheelchair/stroller friendly.

Enchanting bluffs and waterfalls. Choice of several end points: lakes, big rock or peak.

A hotbed of ecological activity – a wildlife and bird watcher’s delight

Relatively short trail to marshy meadows with waterfall and lake.

Stay overnight in an alpine cabin. Views of Mt. Robson from the meadow.

Great views for a short hike; mostly flat along creek then a steep section to the lookout.
