Trail Description:
With good shoes, a full water bottle and some trail mix for an extra shot of energy, this trail is easily do-able for someone who does regular walking. There are a couple steep sections, both up and down, but the trail is well-maintained. You can also take your bike as far as Kinney Lake. The Lake is a beautiful spot for a picnic or just to admire the view at the base of Mt. Robson. Most kids do well on this hike. This trail is used during winter months by snowshoers and ski tourers, although there is avalanche risk in some sections.
Best Parts: In the spring, Kinney Lake becomes cyan blue. In any season it is picturesque nestled at the base of Mt. Robson and several smaller mountains.
Worst Parts: There are some steeper sections and rocks sticking up in the trail. The mosquitoes are active so bring repellant.
