Land Owner
From the Timber Chair, this traversing trail starts at the Lost Boys Café and ends up at the top of the Elk Chair. At times rocky, others smooth, it is a true scenic tour of the resort that still requires focus. The trail is mostly wide with a few up hill sections.
For hikers, From the top of the Elk Chair, the trail begins as an ascent up through lower Lizard Bowl. The trail then traverses across the ‘three fingers’ (ski runs) that are visible from town, before crossing through Currie Bowl and descending back down to the base area via the “Bike Thief” single track trail. Bring your buckets to collect wild huckleberries and raspberries
