This scenic up-and-down hike from Blue Mountain’s South Base Lodge boasts unparalleled views of Georgian Bay and the Escarpment.
Level: Intermediate
Length: 3 kilometre loop
Duration: 1 hour
Trailhead: 44°29’53.54”N 80°18’26.81”W

From the South Base Lodge start hiking up the hill towards the tree line on the left side of the hill. You will see signs to the left of the Southern Comfort chairlift. As you get closer to the tree line look for a trail marker. The trail cuts left into the trees. The trail follows a creek all the way up, making for a beautiful hike. It crosses bridges and finishes at a cascading waterfall. Follow the markers to the top. Turn right at the top and hike north across the top of the hill. Follow the Bruce Trail along the top.

You can descend via the Village Way Trail that takes you through the lush forest (the Happy Valley Trail is closed for hiking this summer, but Blue will post an alternate route). Hike to the bottom of the hill and head south, through the Village and back to the South Base Lodge.

NEW ML Coast Mountains Winter-Spring ’23 Issue is OUT NOW! 🙌
There are some first times that we will always remember. Like the time I skied off-piste through the alpine highlands of le parc national de la Gaspésie.

With four decades of ice canoeing under his belt, Jean Anderson has dominated a sport that's unique to Quebec and that he helped shape.
Featuring three gravel and three MTB events, the series explores the intense competition and love of the sport among 60 of the world’s premier cyclists.
Winter commute with #mountainlifer @michelle_pittam ❄️🚵‍♀️🌲
@lhymnedestrembles.ca is no mirage. Set in the lush Laurentian forest, yet easily accessible (less than an hour and a half from Montreal), this luxurious ski-in ski-out residential resort by @groupebrivia is nestled at the foot of the Versant Soleil side of Mont Tremblant. The Tremblant region is a perennial destination for outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, and within the province, attracting 3.5 million visitors annually.
ML staff and gear partners highlight the latest jackets, boards, crampons, hoodies, insoles and bindings in alpha order. #Linkinbio to learn more!
Adventures like this one require an inspiring team. @timemmett is a longtime friend, adventure partner and extraordinary human; an explorer, pro climber, surfer, freediver—you name it. @luca.freediver is an incredibly talented freediver, fresh off breaking the Canadian national freediving record (85 metres). The fourth man on the team, @brianhockenstein, is a filmmaker and multi-talented snowboarder always ready to jump into the fray and capture the magic. - words Jimmy Martinello. #Linkinbio to learn more!
