SEVEN SISTERS

Seven giant Douglas Fir, some standing, some fallen, await you on this trail. Steps allow a close-up view when you near the trees.

Trail can be accessed from Entrance Bay Campground. Park at Day Use in summer or Jade Bay in the winter, cross main road to campground and keep right. Trail starts just past Site #7. Steeper this way.

IN BETWEEN BOTH OF THESE TRAILS WE WILL BE HIKING ON THE HORSE TRAIL UNTIL THE JUNCTION FOR TEAPOT HILL.

TEAPOT HILL

Most popular hike in the Park. Interpretive signs and views of the lake. Some very steep sections. Suitable footwear is a must.

All trails are well traveled and well looked after. Mostly forest floor and rolling hills some are quite steep but we can go at a slow pace and rest on these.

**TEAPOT HILL IS STEEP No problem going slow and stopping several times, I know I will!!
