TRAILS
The following information is intended to give a brief description of back country
adventures possible in Valhalla Provincial Park. For more detailed information on these and
other trails please visit the
BC Parks Valhalla Provincial Park Page.
Nemo Creek Trail
A popular 4 hour short hike along Slocan
Lake. It begins 50 m (160 ft) north of Nemo Creek. Besides offering stunning views
of the lake, the trail passes near an old trapper's cabin and some interesting rock
formations.
Wee Sandy Creek Trail
An interesting hike that follows
an old logging trail through a forested canyon. The trail is 14.4 km (9 mi)
long and takes approximately 10 hours to hike. Along the way there are
several opportunities 
to view mountain goats, old trappers' cabins, and visit a beautiful
lake well stocked with trout. The trailhead is located on
the west shore of Slocan Lake and can only be accessed
by boat. A good log shelter is available near
the end of the trail, where hikers may stay overnight before
returning to Slocan Lake.
Beatrice Lake Trail The 12.5 km (7.8 mi) long
trail starts south of Evans Creek, and takes about
6 hours to complete.
Beatrice Lake is stocked with
rainbow trout, and is a great place for fishing.
Bannock Burn to Gimli Ridge
A popular route for mountain
climbers, but also of interest to less adventurous hikers, who prefer to just look
at the area's jagged peaks. The trail provides wonderful views into Mulvey Basin,
a world-class
climbing area with stunningly beautiful alpine views.
Sharp Creek Trail
This extremely scenic route leads to
the New Denver Glacier. It begins on the west shore of Slocan Lake
and, like the Wee Sandy Creek Trail, can only be accessed by
boat. It is a very steep difficult hike, 8.8 km (5.5 mi) long, that takes 8 hours
or more each way. But the rewards that greet those hardy enough to face the challenge
make it well worth the effort; waterfalls and exceptional glacier
views are among the offerings along this trail. Return to Valhalla Provincial Park
