Flag Hill Trail Description
The hike to Flag Hill is short, sweet, and offers excellent views south of Preacher’s Point. From the pullout on Highway 11, 19.3mi from Saskatchewan River Crossing, find the rock cairns and flagging tape on the side of the road. Begin your ascent on the marked path for 2625ft before reaching the large flag at the top of the hill. The views are great from the top, and this hike has a worthy reward for little effort. Don’t let the name fool you—it isn’t much of a hill.
