This beautiful alpine wilderness trail starts at Tennent where you cross the concrete weir. From here you wind your way into the upper alpine and pass by a popular backcountry camp spot, Sandbag Lake. Continue on weaving your way towards the summit scrambling up rocky ledges and steep gullies. The summit offers amazing 360' views of nearby mountains and lakes, a true gem of Vancouver Island. Remember to practice Leave No Trace principles.

Disclaimer

Some scrambling and exposure.
