Toby Creek

Highlight • River

Toby Creek is a clear mountain stream fed by the peaks of the Purcell Mountains. Its fast-flowing waters accompany most of the Nordic trail network, adding the sound of rushing water to hikes, rides, and ski outings, and is one of the best features of exploring the routes along this part of the Panorama landscape.
