Crests of Kennisis Trail
This trail begins at the Log Chute Trail and Interpretive Site and ends at the Circuit of 5 Viewpoints trailhead.
Hike 6 km on towering ridgelines to stunning cliff-top views. This trail has some of the best views the Highlands has to offer. Please be aware that this trail is linear and the distance is 6 km in one direction ending at the Circuit of 5 Viewpoints trailhead (see above). Ensure you have a trail guide map with you on this trail and pay close attention to trail junction signs so as not to mistakenly end up hiking onto a longer trail to a different access point. A car shuttle or some other form of return trip to the trail head is required to complete this trail in one direction, but the extra work is well worth it. This trail has some of the best, most varied terrain in the area and offers hikers an opportunity to fully immerse themselves in a true wilderness experience.
