As this trail goes through the same road than Arnica Lake, the ups-and-downs continue from Arnica Lake to the lower Twin Lake which could make that hike more difficult. Other than the Twin Lakes, meadows of white, yellow, red and purple wild flowers run alongside the trail.

The elevation gain of this hike, 580 m, doesn’t tell anything about the level of difficulty of the trail. The descent to Vista Lake, 100 m, follows by a steep ascent to Arnica Lake, 600 m, could make that hike pretty hard. The green blue water of the Vista Lake, a small pound and the Arnica Lake as itself are among the attractions of this trail going across the east face of Storm Mountain.

The Healy Pass trail ascends the Healy Creek Valley in the forest on an easy path. After 5.9 km, at the intersection with the Simpson Pass trail, the road goes on the right climbing moderately before to cross wildflowers meadows. The pass offers a nice views on the mountains, meadows and lakes in the area.

The way to the lake is quite steady and long but rewarding by the short views on the Bow Valley. As the trail drives you in a high valley between the impressive Eisenhower Peak of the Castle Mountain and the Helena Ridge, a long meadow leads you to the small Tower Lake. From there, a steeper climb takes you to a boulder field and to the Rockbound Lake surround by a massive rock wall on the north shore.

From the same route as the Rockbound Lake trail, at the junction after 300 metres, the trail turns on the right to the Silverton Falls. The rest of that short 600 metres trail offers little glance on the Bow Valley and leads through the forest to a nice waterfall.

This short and fairly steep trail runs mainly in the forest on a wide path. At 1.4 km, a first point of interest: the foundations of a dilapidated cabin from an old mining activity (1884). A little bit further, the view starts to open as the trail narrows and the climb gets steeper. After crossing a cliff band, the trail leads to the old Mount Eisenhower fire lookout offering a panorama of the Bow Valley.

Climbing through a forest of pine and spruce, the way up to the lake is particularly easy over an old cat-track with some switchbacks. Near the lake, the trail comes out the forest into meadows of wildflowers as western anemone, marsh marigold, buttercups and mountain laurel. The unique Taylor Lake appears at the end, surround by the south part of the Panorama ridge and the tall and impressive wall formed by Mount Bell.

First in a deep forest of pine and spruce, you will cross Wolverine Creek as it cascades before climbing steep switchbacks to the Bourgeau Lake at the foot of its Mount. The steep climb to the pass will bring you into open alpine bowls and Harvey Lake. From there, you will get an open view of the mountains around and the valley of Sunshine Village with Assiniboine in the background.

Along Johnston Creek, the trail leads first to the Johnston Canyon Lower Falls and to the Upper Falls, 1.6 km further, offering several viewpoints of the canyon and falls. Beyond this point, the trail goes through the forest to open meadows where are seated several mineral springs called Ink Pots. From there, there’s a good view of the Johnston Creek Valley.

Almost the ¾ of this trail follows an old mining road into the forest with a gradual uphill making it quite long and monotonous. At 10.5 km, the trail branches right bringing you 2.4 km further to the Shadow Lake Lodge with a view on meadows. The trail keeps right uphill for another 1 km to the Shadow Lake with the massive Mount Ball seats as its end.
