Hike Big White Peak

It's a great time of year to Hike Big White Peak! We are running a guided group hike this Saturday July 6th.

Big White Peak

This hike follows the favorite Spineback Trail. Just before reaching its crest the Big White Trail heads west across the alpine bowl. We will gain the 2253m Big White Peak by ascending scree and snow filled slopes. You will be instructed by our guides on best practices on snow slope travel. This is the only access to the Lizard Range's ridge crest above Island Lake and provides incredible views to Island Lake Lodge, Mount Fernie, The Three Sisters to the North and Lake Kookanusa to the South. The hike will return to Island Lake Lodge where you will be able to enjoy an ice cold drink on the Bear Lodge Deck.
