Absolutely beautiful, the first 4.1 KM are the hardest but it is very rewarding

Tucked into the mountains leading up to the Kokanee Glacier, the Kokanee Glacier Cabin is a palace. Timber framed, Net Zero (thanks to Micro Hydro and full waste water treatment system), and steps away from spectacular alpine lakes, this park only just begins to show it's beauty. For Backcountry skiers it is a treasure of big mountain slops and safe sheltered deep powder turns. In the summer the spectacular ridges and enchanting valleys draw people from all over the world. If you have the chance to visit, this park is a treasure.

Access road is quite rough and not suitable for 2 wheel drive. Trails are well maintained but not marked well. I highly recommend checking the trail information on the website before heading out as some may be blocked by cut shrubs. Make sure to use the wire mesh to protect your fires and break line from porcupines.

The best part of Kokanee Glacier Park is where most people don't get to.

One of the most beautiful hike I ever done. Highly recommend staying at the Kokanee Cabin and doing the day hike to near by places. Breath taking views. There are so many animals and birds.

Favorite hike in the area. Went on August 7th.The road up to Gibson Lake was well maintained, although there was a little bit of traffic.Enjoyed a perfect blue bird day, made it to Kaslo Lake and took a dip in Kokanee Lake on the way back (can't beat the refreshing waters of the lake after a couple hours of hiking).

The most beautiful hike around this area in BC.
