Synopsis
Hike
Trailhead
The top of the KHMR gondola.
Trail
Unless you wish to walk up the ski hill, you will be required to purchase a pass for the KHMR gondola. After exiting the gondola walk around the station to the southern side and follow the signs/trail for T1 and T2. Follow the wide path leading along the col of Bowl Over to the ridge of T1 (aka Terminator Peak) which is the first peak to the south/left of the gondola. When the trail breaks left, stay to the right and continue behind T1 along the track to the col between T1 and T2 (the second peak south).
Once you reach the foot of the ridge leading up to T2, follow the constructed trail behind T2. The route stays below the ridge to skirt two rocky outcrops. Eventually, the trail angles up and gets you to the ridge about 100 m north of the “peak” of T2. There may be no finer place for a picnic on a sunny day.
