What people say
- People like:
- Reviewers enjoy the connecting trail and quieter trailhead.
- Worth knowing:
- Small parking area with access only from the south.
This trailhead may not popular than upper Whyte Lake trailhead parking lot, it’s my favourite parking spot good for around 10 vehicles.
Via car, you can only access this small parking lot coming from the south (via the Horseshoe Bay Drive off-ramp from Highway 1). The trail it connects to, however, is amazing.
