Lazy Lizard Trail

Hiking along the Lazy Lizard Trail is a fantastic day trip in the Fernie area that will allow you to experience some of the region’s best terrain and scenic views. While the trail may be a bit busy during peak times, it’s with good reason as the beautiful landscape, and easy-to-navigate trails are accessible to both casual and experienced hikers alike. You should take note that this trail is often closed due to bear and moose activity in the area, so make sure to check for any closures in advance of your trip.

This route is an awesome out-and-back hike that will see you work your way through the beautiful forests within the subalpine valley and cross over several streams, all while surrounded by mountain views. The trail features some moderate elevation changes, but these are more than manageable for the average hiker and keep the terrain fun and interesting without being too complicated. You will pass by countless cedar trees along the route as you work your way down to Mount Fernie Provincial Park before heading back along the same trail to return to the picturesque alpine bowl at the trailhead.
