Christina Crest Trail
Christina Lake

Description :

This is one of the few trails in this region located in an alpine setting. Spectacular views are abundant, but bring water as none is available along route.Be prepared for a rugged backcountry experience. The trail starts on an old road at the height of the Santa Rosa Summit, winds north up a ridge line toward Mt. Saint Thomas. The trail boasts alpine meadows and rock bluffs with panoramic views in all directions. As the trail nears Mt. Saint Thomas it splits two ways: the right fork drops down to Bonanza Creek parking area, the left fork leads to the Vertical Smile trail, and to the peak of Mt. Saint Thomas.Trail markers may be difficult to find in places and expect some downned trees if biking early in the summer. Expect snow until July, best hiked or biked in late summer or early fall. Check at WildWays for trail conditions.

Trail Head Access :

To reach the southern end, start at the bridge in Christina Lake. Head northeast on hwy #3 for 0.2 km to Santa Rosa road, turn right and follow for 23.5 km to a cattleguard and road junction. The trailhead is located on left just after cattleguard and is marked. Park well to the side.
