Rose Swanson Hiking Trails

We did the hike with a toddler, and it was about 7km from the car park to the lookout and back. Great views and not bad if you want to stretch your legs:)

Enjoyed the hike. Stopped to enjoy a fire at the lookout just for kicks, had some nice views and the trails seemed to be well marked. I will likely hike it again.

Honestly I've been hiking this since I was a teen, so obviously I enjoy it. However, this year I finally had the courage to walk it in the winter. Despite being Canadian I'm a wuss when it comes to the cold haha. My worries notwithstanding, the hike was amazing. The wind blew dusting of light snow from the still snowy trees even though down below there had been some melting for two weeks. The view at the top was absolutely stunning and I would have loved to stay longer at the top, but once you leave the safety of the trees and your body cools down from that hike, it's a little chilly. Anywho, it's a good hike for whatever level you're at as there's multiple trails and all are well marked out by coloured triangles.

Love the hiking here

This is such a great little hike. Camped up here years ago with friends, fun memory. I was surprised how many people were out with the snow so soft. The sunshine these days has been so awesome though. If you are looking for something to do during the global quarantine, take someone up here. It looks like the lady bugs are excited about spring too.

Well marked trails with many view points

Great hike. Head in from right or left as it’s s loop. Easy grade and well maintained. Great views. About 1.5-2hrs total!

Nice well maintained trail. Takes about 1.5 hours for the loop. Can be icy in winter.

This is my favourite place to trail run! I typically run the outer loop in a clockwise direction, including the short out and back to the first viewpoint overlooking Armstrong. This route will get you close to 9 kilometres, it has some challenging climbs, and is all singletrack except the last part (blue marked trail), which is an old road going back down to the parking lot.This trail system is multi use (hike, bike, horse, and dogs), has great single track with challenging climbs, and a bunch of view points....what more could you ask for!

Medium difficulty hike with gorgeous views of the valley. Recommend taking the orange trail up and the purple trail down.
