Carthew - Alderson Trail
You'll discover some of Canada's most rugged scenery as you trek along Carthew - Alderson Trail, winding through a diverse landscape consisting of pine forests, azure lakes, jagged peaks, and barren valleys almost reminiscent of a moonscape. You can catch a shuttle bus to the starting point of the trail and take another home after your 8-hour trek. Remember to pack plenty of food and water with you, as you won't find any supplies along the trail.
