Breathtaking,
scenic hiking trails are located in and around
Kimberley Alpine Resort. Many
routes start from the base of the mountain, the site of the Kimberley Nature
Park. In fact, there are over 100 km (62 mi) of multi-use trails in the park
alone, some of which run through or around the resort. A network of Nordic
(cross-country) ski trails are also integrated into the nature park trails. The
park area is covered mid-elevation with fir and pine forest, while hikers will
notice ponderosa pine and bunchgrass along trails on its lower southern slopes.
There are some wonderful hikes for those who like
their walks in high alpine, accessed by the mountain’s NorthStar Express
Chairlift. One signature route is Easter Lookout Trail (Intermediate), a 3-km
(1.9 mi) trail that climbs a steep 500 m (1,640 ft). It's worth it: hikers are
rewarded with awesome vistas of the Kimberley area from the summit.
