Healy Pass Trail Banff National Park, AB
Healy Pass Trail Banff National Park, AB
A wonderful hike that spends half of it’s time rising among expansive meadows, seasonally filled with glacier lilies. It begins at the Sunshine village ski resort and maintains a steady uphill throughout the majority of the hike, increasing as you reach the pass. Access to multiple different trails along route.
Looking back into the meadow from near the top of Healy Pass. Glacier lilies dot the lamdscape while The Monarch (right) and the various mountains nearby Mt Jimmie Simpson hang on to the last of their snow.
A thin snowpatch remains at the top of Healy pass as you look towards the Monarch with an unnamed seasonal pond in the bowl below.
Looking back from the top of Healy Pass towards Mt Jimmy Simpson. Various small ponds may be seen in the valley with the trees below. Smoke from the east made it a little hazy.
