Peaks within about 3 miles include Mount Morrisey and Orient Hill. For camping, Niskonlith Lake Campground is within about 6 miles. There are 28 other mapped trails within about 3 miles, so you can combine or extend the outing. Distances, elevations and the trail shape here come from OpenStreetMap and the Copernicus 90 m elevation model. Grooming and snow conditions change daily, so check the local trail report before you go.
