The trails on this side of the centre were well maintained. You start off going right through the now abandoned Leslie M. Frost Outdoors Centre. It’s interesting to see the site abandoned. I think it was operating as little as a few years ago, but it’s been a few years since I’ve driven down highway 35. The Acclimatization trail is an easy trail. There is a self-guided geomorphology tour you can do along this trail, but I was unable to obtain a guide with COVID-19 restrictions in place. This is a wide and relatively flat trail, and is the gateway to the rest of the trails. The back half of this trail is currently closed, but there are about 11kms of loops that branch off. I chose to take the Steep Rock trail, and the name doesn’t disappoint. Part of it has you climbing on rocks at the side of a lake. The rest of it is fairly easy. I think this trail was the best part of the hike. I’d rate this portion as moderate. With the back half of the Acclimatization trail closed, hikers have no choice but to return via Fire Tower trail. It starts with a small switchback up a ridge, which isn’t for the faint of heart. You continue climbing until you get to a relatively disappointing fire tower, then it’s down and out. I don’t think I’d recommend this portion. It’s a ton of work without a good payoff. I’d rate this portion as challenging, mainly because portions of the switchback are steep. All of the trails in this area were very buggy, as expected. I’d recommend a bug jacket for this one, though I managed without it.
