Route Description for Tod Mountain via Altitude Trail
Hiking up Tod Mountain via the Altitude Trail is a fun and scenic way to experience the natural beauty of the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort area during the summertime. From the top of the mountain, you will have a great sightline over the surrounding forested landscape that is dissected by the lush green grass of the ski runs that run down the slopes.
Setting out from the trailhead, make your way southwest along the forested slopes while taking in the views that stretch across the valley before turning to the north on a route towards Tod Mountain. Reaching the foot of the peak, hike around its backside before working your way up to the viewpoint at the summit. After taking in the amazing views overlooking the surrounding mountains and the resort, head back down the trail and past the quaint shores of Tod Lake. Continue hiking to the southeast on a course that will lead you through alternating stretches of forest and meadows, on the way back to the chairlift where you began your journey.
