Upper Elk Lake (from Elk Lakes Cabin)

5.4 km round trip (or longer if you ski to the end of the lake)

30 m elevation gain

The best ski tour from the Elk Lakes Cabin in Elk Lakes Provincial Park BC.

I turned around at the lake shore but the option exists to continue to the end of the upper lake.    Watch out for lake overflow and don’t get your skis covered in water and ice…

Arriving at the view point junction. I’ve head that this is almost impossible to ski, you’ll be walking, or snowshoeing
