Nelson, British Columbia is situated in the south west part of the province.  Surrounded by mountains and pristine forest, short hikes from the city limits are plentiful (as well, for avid mountain bikers). Visiting the Kootenays for the first time, or adventuring in the unknown? I recommend to have “The Kootenays (Backroad Mapbook, 4)” handy, trails, logging roads, fishing….it’s got it all!

Pulpit Rock has always been one of my favorite hike to introduce to Nelson’s new comers.  From the trail head, it is a 45 to 60 minutes hike to Pulpit Rock with a medium incline. From downtown Nelson, you can add an additional 25 minutes to get to the trail head on foot.

To get there from downtown, head toward the lake and across our Big Orange bridge (pretty hard to miss) and take a left on Johnston rd. within about 1.5km you will come to the trail head on the right with complimentary parking.
