Details
* Goes to Poland Lake from the Allison Pass Highways Shed along Memaloose Ck.
This trail can be done as an in and out route, or as a crossover from Strawberry Flats by leaving one vehicle at the highway shed area (outside of the gate) and the other at Strawberry Flats.
The walk is very easy and there are a lot of wild flowers and mushrooms along the trail. It has recently been cleared of all blowdowns and is in good shape. There are a few boggy sections.
The trail itself is not scenic, but gives an alternate route to Poland Lake for those not wanting to start at Strawberry Flats.
