Hale Hut via Placer Trail

Hiking to Hale Hut via the Placer Trail is a great outdoor experience whether you complete the route in the summer or the winter. This multi-use trail is most popular with skiers and hikers, allowing outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the picturesque views found within this forested valley. This route is easy to traverse with only minor changes in elevation, making it ideal for hikers of all skill levels.

Setting out on the trail, hikers will first pass by the Greywolf Golf Course before veering to the northwest on a route that skirts alongside the rushing waters of Toby Creek. Follow the trail as you pass through the subalpine valley and have some views of the Sultana and Red Line Peaks across the creek. Eventually, you will reach a small warming hut used by cross-country skiers in the winter that is named after Dennis Hale, an avid local skier. After reaching the hut, turn back and retrace your steps while soaking in the beautiful views once more as you make your way back to the trailhead.
