Table of contents

The Big White Mountain Peak Trail is a 1.4mi out-and-back hiking route that will take you up to the summit of the mountain for some spectacular views overlooking Rhonda Lake and the Big White Mountain Ecological Reserve. Due to the fairly easy terrain and short distance of this hike, this is a great option for families looking to get out into the mountains and experience the trails with young children. This hike is only accessible during the summer months when the resort is not being used for skiing.
