This 7.5-km trail climbs the slopes of Mt. Bourgeau to a small alpine lake nestled high above the Bow Valley. The path follows the course of Wolverine Creek, which delivers the outflow of Bourgeau Lake into the Bow River. A climb of 725m is required to reach the lake, which is a lovely setting for a picnic before retracing your route back down to the trailhead (text credit: http://www.trailpeak.com/index.jsp?cat=hike&con=trail&val=1837).
