Another landmark mountain along Abraham Lake is Mount Abraham with its triangular limestone slabs eroded out of the south side of the cliff. The repetitive pattern shows best in morning and evening light when seen from the highway. Superb “aerial” views of the slabs are also possible from both Visionquest Ridge and Bagre Peak.

This is another mountain which can be climbed by those with enough stamina and a love for outdoor adventure.

The David Thompson Highway lends itself to an extended bike tour as the road is wide with little traffic and very few grades. The views of the lake and mountains are probably best appreciated in this manner because the scenery changes at every bend and you can stop and enjoy the view whenever you feel like it. Just remember that on a windy day, there is only one direction and that is from south to north, putting the wind behind you.

Bikes are available for our guests staying at Aurum Lodge.
