Bear's Hump Trailhead image

Bear's Hump Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 Short but steep hike with an amazing view of the townsite and surrounding area waiting at the top. Very well maintained trail for how much traffic it sees. Sun exposure should be a determining factor on hot days at the moment as the trees recover from the wildfire. Parking is limited, but the trail...

Bow Falls to Hoodoos Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 A short intermediate hike with amazing view of the other side of Bow Falls. I said intermediate because its easy at first due to steep decent but you got to climb it all back up and kids had a bit of hard time. About 150m elevation gained on way back up but its totally worth it for the view. There i...

Bow Falls Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 A nice trail from the town centre for when you don't want to stray too far. Lots of steps under and down near the falls to get to the main viewpoint, but worth it for the views. Viewpoint was pretty busy even off peak.

Miner's Peak
Hiking area
👍👍 Miners peak is accessed from the Ha Ling trail. The Ha Ling trail splits near the top to the left (Ha Ling) and to the right (Miners). I suggest heading to the top of Ha Ling and then venturing over to Miners Peak. Might as well do both peaks while you're up there. Miners gets way less foot traffic...

Pulpit Rock
Hiking area
👍👍 Gorgeous viewpoint of Nelson. Similar to the Grouse Grind. Took about 36min to get to the top. Near the end of the hike, there are two path options: Easy or More Difficult. We went with the Easy trail. There were a couple of benches there and lots of different spots to chill and look at the scenery...

Cory Pass Loop Trailhead image

Cory Pass Loop Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 If you want a good physical challenge, this is the place. The clockwise way up top is challenging and steep for the first 4 or 5 km and then it gets a little less challenging for the remaining of the hike. You should reach the pass around 8km in. (8 km was mid-July when you have to Park at the entra...

Edith Pass Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 Ascending via Cory Pass and descending via Edith Pass is probably the best option. The first third or so is however very(!) steep and strenuous but definitely worth it. Also one of the most versatile trails I've ever seen.

Elbow Falls Provincial Recreation Area
Hiking area
👍👍 This destination is very special to me as I have been enjoying this area since the early 60's when my father, and sometimes my mother and brother would accompany us. This beautiful place is incredible. It gets very busy, especially on the weekends. We always try to get out during the week when possi...
