From the end of the road this 3 km trail climbs steeply up the west side of the ridge, through heavy timber, into the sub alpine and then continues south along the ridge to a rustic cabin. The trail is primarily a winter snowmobile route, as a result hikers will encounter wet areas and steep sections. There excellent views of the surrounding mountain ranges from the trail. The cabin is managed and maintained by the Kitimat Snowmobile Club under an agreement with Recreation Sites and Trails BC. The cabin has a registration book. Please use it.
