The Redstreak Campground Trail is a quick and easy hiking route in the southern portion of Kootenay National Park that will provide you with some scenic views overlooking the valley. While out on the trail, you will hike along an elevated position above Sinclair Creek that will eventually bring you to the edge of the campground. Easy-to-navigate trails, scenic views, and the chance for a dip in the hot springs all make this a great hike that the entire family will love.
