Description: 

Virtual Hike to Big White is a tradition for every Jump Start Student. We are excited to be offering you the opportunity to Hike Big White virtually! We understand our UBC students would rather be at Big White hiking but this is the next best thing!

The trail we will be virtually hiking is Rhonda Lake Trail.

This is a great trail for those who want incredible views of Rhonda Lake, which is entirely hidden by snow in the winter. It is one of the more shaded hikes, with our Englemann spruce and Lodgepole pine lining the bottom section of the trail. The top section of the trail takes you through the Cliff bowl, a spectacular view of one of the great skiing areas we have in the winter. Once you hit Rhonda Lake, be sure to take a dip in the cold oasis.

Approximate Hiking Time: 1 hour (one way)
Distance: 4.5km
Level: Intermediate
Elevation Gail: 456m
Slope: Max 42%, Avg 12%
