Soren Sorensen Trail — 5 km Loop
A longer rainforest circuit with modest climbing and shared hiking and cycling use.
Route overview
Longer shared-use forest loop with a connection toward Meadows in the Sky Parkway.
The five-kilometre Soren Sorensen option extends deeper through lower Mount Revelstoke’s forest and reaches the parkway connection at its far end. It offers more continuous movement than the shorter loop while retaining modest elevation change.
