The Hourglass Lake Trail is a relatively challenging path that leads to a picturesque alpine lake, popular with hikers and anglers. The trail is unmarked but easy to follow, climbing steadily through forest and open slopes to the lake, with roughly 340 metres of elevation gain, offering fantastic views of Pyramid, White Grouse, and Mount McKay in the distance. There is access to a nearby tarn via a short spur, a beautiful shoreline view at the lake and the option to scramble up a steep talus slope to a higher cirque lake. This trail ticks all the boxes—challenge, solitude, and incredible scenery.
