About

There are many mountains along the Kinbasket Reservoir to be explored but none more packed with wildflowers than Lilly Meadows. Named for the glacier lilies that line the landscape, this trail climb's steeply from the valley bottom reveal a stunning alpine landscape complete with wildflowers, waterfalls, and an picturesque lake. The trail gains 800 vertical metres over 5 km (one-way) and for those interested in a longer day can be extended to hike higher into the alpine.

Our Full-Day Hikes are tailored to you group's interests and abilities and can include everything from interpretative forest safaris looking glimpses of wildflowers and wildlife, to steep hikes with wide open viewpoints and everything in between.

Your guide, Ben Nearingburg, is the author of two guidebooks for the Jasper/Robson/Valemount region and can help you connect with the history, and ecology of the Valemount region.

We provide hiking poles, water, and lunch for your hike; all you need to bring is a pair of boots and a sense of adventure.
