Altitude Trail

Although the area is popular during the winter season, hiking the Altitude Trail will enable you to explore the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort area during the summertime and appreciate the natural beauty of its heavily wooded slopes and green meadows. Setting out from the top of the chairlift, make your way to the southwest and through the forest for some intermittent views that stretch across the valley. Follow the trail as it turns north and heads toward the foot of Tod Mountain. After crossing over several mountain streams, you will arrive at the charming shores of Tod Lake with the rugged slopes of the mountain providing a beautiful woodland setting. After taking in the views, head back along the trail and follow the path to the left to take an alternate path to the chairlift that will lead you through stretches of beautiful forest and the green grass of the ski runs. Once you arrive at the trailhead, you can either make your way down the mountainside or continue to explore the picturesque subalpine landscape.
