A portion of the Vinal Creek trail to the junction with the Turner Creek Trail is an excellent family hiking opportunity as it climbs less than four hundred feet in three and one-half miles. The trail system accesses a lookout tower on Mt. Henry which offers a dramatic view of the Kootenai Valley, Glacier Park, Canadian Rockies, Selkirk Mountains, and the Cabinet Mountains to the south.
