Tom Snow Hike Description
From the Station Flats day-use area, find the Tom Snow trail via route signs. The Elbow Valley trail also leaves from this trailhead and heads westbound. You will be heading northbound from the trailhead. Follow the trail, paying attention to signs at every junction. There are many intersecting trails in this area that see a variety of users. This trail is mostly used by horseback riders and mountain bikers due to the wide trail and long distance. It is an out-and-back hike and you may choose your own distance. There aren’t any grand views here for the most part, but it is a manageable trail for intermediate hikers.
