Camp at Hermit Meadows
Rogers Pass, British Columbia
4 mi
/ 2559.1 ft gain
The trail head is located between the Rogers Pass Discovery Center and the Tupper.

Campfires are banned at this campsite as it is a fragile alpine ecosystem, so if you are hoping for a fire I would recommend staying in the valley.
The trail starts o...
