Beautiful trails and scenery, perfect for all levels to learn and improve. Really love the different terrain and the fact that you feel like you are a million miles away from everyone even though the trails are only a few kilometres from town. Perfect day trip from 100 Mile. The lodge is clean, inviting and a great place for a quick apres ski or to warm up. Friendly and helpful staff and volunteers. I plan to spend a lot of time up there!

Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada
This is a popular destination for locals, Calgarians and visitors wanting something fun to do and see, but not wanting to drive too far. It's only a 45 minute drive from Calgary on good roads. The paved parking area has been beautifully expanded, with several extra pit toilets and lots of benches to use to sit and put on your gear. And there is truly something for everyone! On our recent visit mid-November, we saw mountain bikers and fat-tire bikers, trail runners, snowshoers, walkers, hikers and large family groups out for a stroll. There were even a few cross-country skiers, but there wasn't enough snow to groom the trails - skiers should always consult the web site for trail conditions. On this visit, we started with snowshoes, but there wasn't enough snow even for that, but enjoyed a good workout and excellent views using our micro spikes on our 9 km hike.
