The Gunnery Creek Trail in Don Getty Wildland Provincial Park follows an old forestry road that gradually narrows into a rugged backcountry path. The route runs through dense forest alongside Gunnery Creek, eventually opening to alpine meadows framed by the Front Ranges. It’s lightly maintained and best suited to experienced hikers comfortable with route-finding and creek crossings. The trail offers a true wilderness feel, with few visitors, steady elevation gain, and wide mountain views near the upper valley.
