Expedition
PANORAMA MOUNTAIN SUMMIT
Get a jump on your summit approach by taking the Mile 1 Quad to the trailhead. The chairlift gives you a 1246 ft vertical headstart on your 4000 ft trek up the mountain. The trek is well worth it as you will be rewarded with amazing views and the summit is the gateway to other hikes and ridge walks such as Mount Goldie.
Time: Approx. 2-3 hours

JUMBO PASS
It will take a little while to get to the trailhead by 4x4, but the hike is well worth the effort. The Jumbo area is truly spectacular filled with soaring peaks, wildflowers and alpine lakes. Watch the weather and wait until late summer to do this hike. Timing is critical as you want to hike it after the snow has melted, but before the snow starts to fall again.
Time: Approx. 2 to 2.5 hours

LAKE OF THE HANGING GLACIER
Surrounded by sky reaching peaks, this glacial lake is an unreal blue colour that is best viewed in all its glory on sunny days. Bring your binoculars as there are often mountain goats with white coats that blend well into the background of the leftover snow and glacier. Make sure to pack a lunch, but leave no trace in this pristine area of nature.
Time: Approx. 2.5 to 3 hours

SULTANA CREEK & THUNDERBIRD MINE
This hike is very accessible from Panorama Mountain Village. It is a fairly lengthy trek that brings you to the old town site where remenants of buildings still remain. Take special care on this hike as you have to cross creeks and slide paths.
