Kimberley Nordic Centre Trail Description
Hiking the Kimberley Nordic Centre Trail is fairly straightforward; however, you should still make sure to bring a trail map or GPS, as there are a number of intersecting trails that can make navigation tricky at times. Setting out from the trailhead, follow the path to the south as it leads through the dense forest next to the golf course. The trail will eventually climb uphill towards Ikers Landing, a vantage point with nice views of the valley and the Rocky Mountain in behind. Continue to the southwest along a more exposed section of trail, before crossing over a creek and turning back to the north on the return leg of the hike. Along this last stretch, you will pass through a mix of meadow and trees, before arriving back at the trailhead where you began.
