Description

NOTE: This is a ROUTE that is unmaintained by Alberta Parks.

This is a challenging and eroded direct route up to king creek ridge. Grades on this hike frequently exceed 20°, so get ready for a huffin' puffin' good time! You'll slowly ascend for about 2.2km/1.4mi before the grade becomes more friendly at the ridgeline. Once you're out of the trees and the peak, the views are tremendous!

Flora & Fauna

Small mammals, birds, deer
