For its final run down out of the park, the highway doglegs west through the Sinclair Pass , a red-cliffed gorge filled with the falling waters of Sinclair Creek and the start of the Kindersley Pass Trail , possibly the most scenic day-hike in the park . If this seems too much of a slog, Sinclair Pass offers three far easier short trails, all marked off the highway to the west. The best is the Juniper Trail (3.2km), accessed just 300m inside the park's West Gate. The trail drops to Sinclair Creek and over the next couple of kilometres touches dry canyon, arid forest slopes of juniper and Douglas fir, and thick woods of western red cedar, before emerging at the hot springs, or Aquacourt , 1.4km up the road from the start. The Redstreak Creek Trail (2.7km), 4.5km east of the West Gate, starts off as a good forest walk, but tails off into dullness subsequently, as does the Kimpton Creek Trail (4.8km), also on the south side of the road and canyon, accessed 7.5km east of the West Gate.
