A stunning location, set in the Lizard Range with amazing hiking in the summer and cat skiing in the winter. Winter, the lodge is only available for those cat skiing. Summer, all are welcome to enjoy the hiking but the lodge may be closed due to weddings and private functions. Check their website before heading up! Goldilocks is our favourite hike. The Tamarack View Point is also stunning, and a shorter hike. With the kids we love parking at the Old Growth Parking Lot, hiking to the lodge for lunch, and then hiking back to the car.
