This hike is a local favorite. Wet marshy areas, the sounds of a bubbling creek, beautiful open meadows and crystal-clear tarns – Brewer Creek offers something for everyone. Noted for its variety this can be an easy day hike to Brewer basin or take advantage of the connections to Mineral or Hopeful Creek trails for longer hiking options. The trail starts on an old road and crosses both Brewer Creek and a couple of small streams before coming to an open area. It then swings into the forest, followed by some steep sections and a couple of marshy areas. Once you reach the Brewer Creek Basin follow the trail to the right to a couple of tarns at the base of Mount Brewer. If you want to extend your day, scramble up Mt Brewer for some great views of Mineral Creek to the west and the entire Brewer Basin. Note: See the Recreation Sites and Trails BC (RSTBC) website for more information. This trail is maintained by RSTBC in conjunction with Summit Trail Makers Society.
