Details
A little bush-wacking, many creek crossings and some steep climbing will get you to the Carrot Creek Summit, found at the 10.5 km mark. Here there are views of Lake Minnewanka below. The trail eventually meets up with the Lake Minnewanka Trail. A backcountry campsite is located just beyond the half-way point to Lake Minnewanka.
