    Route Description for Hoodoo Creek

    Hoodoo Creek is a moderate half-day hike perfect for intermediate hikers. It’s steep as it rises 600 m in only 2.5 km, so be prepared for a leg burner. The trail follows the creek up the face of Abraham Mountain. This is not the Abraham Mountain route. Make your way up Hoodoo Creek to a good lookout over Abraham Lake. If you’re up for the steep incline, this is an excellent way to catch views of the grand Abraham Lake.

    Getting to the Hoodoo Creek Trailhead

    From Nordegg, travel 38.0 km westbound on Highway 11 before pulling over to park for Hoodoo Creek. You will see the creek running by the road, and you will be below Abraham Mountain.
