Trailhead: Goat Creek Day Use Area

Getting There:

From the town of Canmore, follow the signs toward the Nordic Center. Continue past the Nordic Center towards the Spray Reservoir. Eventually, you will be climbing up a hill on a gravel road that gets pretty dusty. You'll come across a parking lot on the right side of the road called "Goat Creek Day Use Area". Stop your car. Turn off the ignition. Get your hikers on.

Additional Info:
Cross the street and head up the hill. Cross the river and you will see the trail go up through the trees in front of you. From here, you will begin switchbacks and eventually pop up above the tree line with a 10-20 minute hike/scramble left to the top!
