New hiking trail – Goldilocks
After two years of sweat and perseverance, the trail crew has finished a dramatic new alpine hiking trail at Island Lake Lodge near Fernie, BC. Goldilocks is a loop extension off the existing Spineback trail and takes hikers through breathtaking peaks, valleys and alpine wildflowers. Leave right from the doors of the lodge and end up in the spectacular alpine in the Lizard Range with grand views of the Cedar and Elk River valleys. This additional trail makes Island Lake a true hiking destination of the Canadian Rockies. Have a look at additional Fernie hiking trail info.
