Sunshine Meadows

Slow and Steady Hikers
We will meet at Sunshine Village (the bottom of the gondola). The gondola has a fee of about $70. The main trail at Sunshine Meadows is a gentle loop that connects three picture-perfect lakes: Rock Isle, Larix, and Grizzly. We will walk past the reflective lakes with incredible mountain backdrops. Hopefully we will catch the flowers on the way down. We will climb up wander the Twin Cairns/Meadow, stopping to photograph alpine flowers. It’s prime grizzly bear habitat so carry bear spray. We may have time for a quick pint before catching the gondola down.
