Westside Legacy Trail

Hiking the Westside Legacy Trail is a fairly lengthy affair; however, the relatively flat terrain helps speed up the entire process. Along the route, you will find several parking lots with washroom facilities that serve as excellent starting points if you are not keen on completing the trail’s entirety.

From the north parking lot in Invermere, the trail travels south through the Columbia Valley. It provides some great opportunities to capture the natural beauty of the river valley and surrounding mountains. You will pass through several different landscapes along the paved trail, including sections of forest and open plains. Make sure to keep to the side of the trail and allow any passing cyclists to make their way around you safely. Eventually, you will arrive at the southern parking lot in Fairmont Hot Springs, where you can meet up with your pre-arranged method of transportation for returning home.
