Plenty of parking off the highway and an overflow access along Char creek, just 200 metres to the west of the main access point.

Description

In Ktunaxa, a grandfather is called "ka papa" and Ka Papa Cedars Trail is named for the giant old growth cedar trees located along the trail.

The loop is just 1.7km round trip but takes a circular route through an cool and refreshing area of old growth. The trail is well-constructed and has maps and signage posted for interpretation of some of the flora and fauna you can encounter here. Bridges span difficult sections and the trail is well maintained.

Flora & Fauna
