Drive. From Nelson, drive 13 km south on Highway 6 and turn left onto Whitewater Ski Road. Continue 10km up the road and park in the Nordic Center parking lot at the ski resort.
Whitewater wants you to check in at the lodge and pick up a pass.
Trails. The main loop is a groomed trail that is compact enough to walk on without snowshoes. Side trails branch off for snowshoes.
The trails descend until they near the Hummingbird Pass backcountry area. The lower trails cross Apex Creek twice.
