You can knock it off in a few hours, even after work on a summer evening. It\u2019s an interesting one too \u2013 as you\u2019ll probably see climbers bouldering on White Buddha \u2013 or on the crag on the descent.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a regular on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hikebiketravel.com\/prairie-mountain-hike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prairie Mountain hike<\/a><\/strong>, then I think you\u2019d love this hike \u2013 simply as a way to change things up, get a different view \u2013 and a decent workout (though there isn\u2019t as much elevation gain as Prairie) in just a couple of hours.<\/p>\n<p><em>This post includes some affiliate links.

I know people do an out and back hike to White Buddha in winter because the upper section is in the sun, but I wouldn\u2019t recommend doing Vents Ridge in the winter. The steep descent on a narrow trail isn\u2019t safe when covered with snow and ice.<\/p>\n<p>At the bottom of the steep descent you\u2019ll cross Prairie Creek, and in spring the flow can be quite high.

The trail is largely in the forest with little in the way of views for the first 1.1 km. If you\u2019re doing the hike in shoulder season, I\u2019d recommend <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/hsyrg3w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">microspikes<\/a><\/strong> as it can be very icy in the shady sections.<\/p>\n<p>About 100 m after you cross the bridge, a kilometre into the hike, look for a narrow trail on your right heading steeply up. See the picture showing the sharp turn below. Also note how icy the Powderface Creek trail is in early November.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"620\" alt=\"Start

It\u2019s about 1.3 km down to meet up with the Prairie Creek trail. Most of it is very steep \u2013 but also beautiful with all the white-grey rock and fun to hike. The crag is surprisingly long. There were several occasions where John and I thought we were at the end of it, only to see it continue. <\/p>\n<p>Wait till the snow goes to do it, unless you\u2019re a very experienced hiker with the right equipment like poles and microspikes. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"674\" alt=\"A nice start to the hike
