The Sunny Ridge hike is a scenic loop to a treeline pass which looks across at the toe of the La Clytte Glacier. The path crosses several small streams and meadows, starting the same way as the Pyrite Lake Trail.

The trail branches off to the left and climbs a spectacular ridge to the saddle we call Keffi. There is one short, exposed section on this ridge; the rest is a broad, rounded ridge typically covered in wildflowers. Along this ridge, you’ll have views of the blue ice of the La Clytte Glacier to the east.

From the Keffi saddle, the route descends gradually to the meadows and loops back down.

For those concerned about the exposed section, you can do this trail as an out-and-back; simply turn around once you reach the exposed section on Sunny Ridge.

It is possible to extend this hike by linking it to the Espresso ridge loop. Once you cross Sunny Ridge, you can traverse the pass and connect to the Espresso Ridge Trail. This extension will make for an 8km loop (+660m).
