Century Sam Trail
Location: Strathcona provincial Park
Photo Date: August 2026
Description:
The Century Sam Trail in Strathcona Provincial Park leads to a vibrant turquoise alpine lake and hidden summer glacier/ice caves beneath the Comox glacier.
Stepping into the glacier cave at Century Sam feels like walking into a natural freezer. The temperature drops instantly, with cold air pouring out from the ice and walls glowing in shades of blue and white.
It’s a short but surreal transition from the warmth outside into a quiet world of ice, rock, and freezing air.
