Sightseeing

The Mount Swansea trail has a lot going for it; close to Invermere, good road access, good exercise (750 m elevation gain), and great views of the developed Columbia Valley to the west and the relatively undeveloped view to the east. The network of trails on Mt Swansea is shared between hikers and bikers. Some trails are single use while others are shared, so be mindful of the signs and use common courtesy when meeting the downhill mountain bikers. The trail that starts at the bottom parking lot travels 6.2 km along the west ridge. Choosing the left forks keeps you on the west ridge for the best views of the Invermere Valley (See Mount Swansea SE Ridge for alternate route).
