Description
Come July and August, this remote alpine meadow high in the Canadian Rockies is a riot of color, carpeted with over 300 species of wildflowers. Several trails cross the meadow, and with its primo location on the Continental Divide, all promise great views. The self-contained resort, Sunshine Village, is located here and accessible only by gondola from the valley floor. But during summer, after the snow melts, you can also walk the 3.7 mile restricted access road up to the Meadows, or take the Sunshine Meadows Shuttle.
