Pedley Pass Recreation Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This area is famous for its Alpine Larches. These special trees look like evergreens, but their needles turn a brilliant, glowing gold in late September before falling off. What makes this trail unique is how quickly it transitions from thick larch forests to wide-open ridges. You will find yourself walking along a spectacular "knife-edge" ridge that requires careful footing. The path here is often narrow and rocky, with steep drop-offs on either side.

Pedley Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

To the east you get a great view of the Kooteney River Valley, and where the Palliser River converges with it. the overlook on the north side of the saddle provides a gourgous view of the meadowy forest below.
