Description

This trail is only suitable for advanced hikers. It can serve as a day hike if you turn around at the log crossing. The trail beyond the log crossing is steep, rough and usually snow covered until late summer.

The trail follows a gravel road for the first 3km from Buttle Lake and then begins a relentless assault up towards Cream Lake.
