A classic snowshoeing trail with spectacular scenery. The trail immediately begins to climb in elevation before leveling out in a valley and ending at a mountain lake. This trail is shared with cross-country skiers for the first 200m, then splits off into separate trails for snowshoeing and cross-country skiers. Make sure to follow the signs.
