Popular Destinations
Hastings Ridge:
The Adanac summit. This hike will take you to a long abandoned mine site at the peak of the ridge top. It offers a 360 degree view with mountains to the west, plains to the east and on a clear day the edge of Waterton National Park can be seen.
Approximate time: 4 Hours both ways
Difficulty:
3/5- Uneven ground, rocky terrain, overall steady incline
Lille:
Hidden in the valley just north of the Frank Slide, sits the former town site of Lille. Little remains of the once active area still exist, foundations can be found, coking ovens, remnants of a graveyard, and perhaps the most famous, a fire hydrant. Early spring walks down this trail are a must for flora lovers as glacier lilies and paintbrush consume the hillsides. This area is a provincial historic site and so leaving this area undisturbed for future users is essential.
Approximate time: 4 Hours both ways
Difficulty
3/5- short steep sections, bridged creek crossings, rocky terrain.
Highline Trail:
Located at the edge of Blairmore, this light hike offers an amazing view of the valley below, and a side view of the infamous Turtle Mountain. Crowsnest Mountain, Seven Sisters Mountain, and Tecumseh Mountain are also visible. It follows an abandoned mine trail, and evidence of the operation can be seen as a few remaining cables and coal car pieces line the path. This is also one of the more likely areas to spot a mountain lion, although these majestic beasts usually keep to themselves.
Approximate time: 3 hours both ways
Difficulty:
2/5- steady incline, uneven ground, narrow trail
Miners Path:
The trail head begins at the edge of Coleman, following the Nes Pierce creek . This is the exact path former mine workers once walked daily to start their work. It is a maintained trail and stunning scenery is found along the way, highlighted by a small waterfall.
Approximate time: 2 hours both ways
Difficulty:
1/5- mostly level, stairs at steeper sections, maintained trail, possible creek crossings.
Star Creek:
Hidden in Coleman’s outskirt to the west, the Star creek trail is often missed by those unfamiliar to the area as it is not visible from the highway, or well marked. The trailhead begins at the edge of town and meanders south through a small canyon to a waterfall. Further up a second, much larger set of falls can be found, although accessing the upper falls can vary with seasons.
Approximate time:
2-3 hours both ways- condition dependant
Difficulty:
2/5- mostly level, unmaintained trail, possible creek crossing.
*All destinations are condition and weather dependant. Alternate sites may be available or suggested in the event of adverse weather, stream flow or trail deterioration.
