Trail: Hoffman Humps
Difficulty: Low intermediate
Length: 6 km (out and back)
Ascent: 300 meters
Trailhead: Head west of Turner Valley to the Indian Oils parking lot. Cross the bridge over Tiger Jaw Falls and take the old logging road. An unmarked trail swings up to the right just before you cross an un-named creek bed.
Description: Hoffman Humps boasts some very cool rock formations made of sandstone outcroppings that look like faces. This trail offers some terrific views. Be sure to take the trail around to the back of the rocks and stand on top.
Reminder: Take adequate water, food and clothing in the event of sudden weather changes. Ensure someone knows where you’re going and when you’ll be back in the event you get lost or injured. Hiking alone is not recommended.
