    Getting to the Marble Mountain trailhead can be tricky and out of the way, but this remote trail is sure to be empty and worth the trip. You’ll find solitude here on this quiet circuit through the mountains. Route-finding skills are required here, especially early on.

    Route Description for Marble Mountain Hike

    As David Thompson Country goes, finding the trailhead can be the biggest crux, and Marble Mountain Trail is no exception. Once you make it to the trailhead, follow the path to a trail junction, which is the beginning of your loop on the lollipop. Join the trail on the left and hike in a clockwise direction. 1.5 km from the junction, you will reach a slight detour to a lookout point that is well worth a stop. The detour is a 400 m round trip but leads to a fantastic view. Make your way to the summit and enjoy the descent.

    Getting to the Marble Mountain Hike Trailhead

    To get to the Marble Mountain Trail from Nordegg, join AB Highway 11 southbound and follow this road until you reach Rocky Mountain House at AB-22.
