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.
