Whistling Pass is named after the responding whistles of a number of hoary marmots that make the pass their home.

This is an easy five hour hike, but can take longer if you decide to go on to Whistling Pass or the loop.

This is a mostly level trail through wide mountain meadows, culminating in spectacular views of the hanging glacier on Mt. Ball from the south side of the pass. Enroute, you will pass through stands of larch and floral meadows.

From the cairn at the top of the pass you can continue down to the scenic Lower Twin Lake and continue to Upper Twin Lake. This is a small mountain lake with great fishing.

From the centre of Gibbon Pass if you are feeling energetic, you can scramble part way up Copper Mountain (Little Copper) to the east for a spectacular view of Shadow Lake to the south, Castle Mountain to the north and Mt. Temple to the northwest.

Follow the Lakeshore Trail to the far end of the lake. At the end of the lake, follow the flagged trail on the right hand side of the creek, you will come to two beautiful waterfalls.

The Egypt Lake Loop is a long day-hike from the lodge, but worth the effort. You hike past numerous lakes and cross a wonderful pass covered with alpine flowers and impressive stand of alpine larch.

Follow the well-trod path from the lodge southwest through the forest where you will emerge from the trees to see the iconic view of Shadow Lake and the East face of Mt. Ball. At this point if you wish to continue to the end of the lake, double back about 50 feet until the trail branches off toward the north.
