Harry's Trail/ Skyline Ridge Alpine Loop
Harry's Trail is an extremely demanding ascent trail with the last several trail tags being painted on rocks. As you emerge from the top of treeline into the alpine meadows, we encourage you to take your time to accurately follow the green painted tags as they transition to purple for the Skyline Ridge Trail descent, which consists of challenging singletracks with some technical sections. The entire Harry's/Skyline loop is 8.8 km, however please keep in mind it's 2.3 km to reach the trail and 3.9 km to return from the trail to the Summit Lodge for a total of 13.4 km.
