    Route Description for Brewer Lake

    The hike to Brewer Lake is a tough but beautifully scenic route that will take you through a small subalpine valley to reach the stunning waters of Brewer Lake. With 598 m of elevation gain, this trail has a bit of an uphill climb; however, this is largely spread throughout the trail, and there are only a few steep sections along the route.

    This beautifully forested trail follows closely alongside the flowing waters of Brewer Creek for the duration of the hike before turning to the west to arrive at the peaceful edge of the lake. When timed for the fall, this area is truly transformed as the numerous larches dotting the landscape paint the area in a warm golden colour. Take some time to explore the area surrounding the lake and absorb the views of nearby peaks such as Mount Brewer before heading back down the trail to return to your vehicle at the trailhead.
