arrowsmith CPR trail<br />
<br />
The Canadian Pacific Railway built this<br />
historic trail in 1912 to service guests at<br />
their Cameron Lake resort. The views<br />
from the forested mountain trail remain<br />
spectacular today. The trail winds steadily<br />
uphill from Hwy 4 through private forest<br />
lands to the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional<br />
District’s park, site of a defunct ski hill. It’s<br />
a good four hour climb on rough but ready<br />
trail to the old ski hill – and network of<br />
Mount Cokely trails – with a great lookout<br />
about half way. The upper half of the<br />
Arrowsmith CPR Trail is a large loop; the<br />
entire trail length is about 10 km including<br />
the loop and total elevation gain about<br />
1000 metres. It’s high country so be<br />
