Stanley Glacier Trail

Open views after the blow down -- trail all cleared (Photos by Alan Dibb)

Regular users of the Stanley Glacier Trail are in for a bit of a surprise this year. Blowdown from wild weather this spring has leveled much of the dead, standing pine forest, creating a more open environment with plenty of sun and views along the upper Vermilion Valley. Luckily for visitors, Kootenay’s trail crews did a fantastic job of clearing the deadfall from the trail!
