If you are looking for a fun, family-friendly hike in the Invermere area, then The Johnson Junior Loop is a great option to enjoy the outdoors while getting some exercise. The trail is made up of accessible terrain, and while navigation might be tricky amongst the interconnected web of trails, there is no real chance of getting lost as they are contained within a fairly small area.
