About

A great place for shorter loop options that weave up through forests to the old growth fir tree and Balmoral Bluffs viewpoint. Also, the Balmoral Trail System connects with the Blind Bay Bluffs and the White Lake Traverse trail systems for longer traverse hikes over to White Lake (8 km one-way) or to Blind Bay Bluffs lookout (6 km one-way).


Access

Approx 9.3 km east of Sorrento or approx. 24 km west of Salmon Arm, turn north onto Balmoral Rd. Follow for approx. 1.5 km and watch for the trailhead parking lot on the right (east), just before Alpen Paradies subdivision.
