Mountain Trails is a recreation
destination with a dozen or more trails leading to a few wilderness
huts. The mountain region is located 15 minutes east of the community
of Prince George, British Columbia, Canada.
The extensive trail network
is accessed by cross country skiers in the winter and mountain
bikers and hikers in the summer. Many in the summer hike and bike
to the Willow River Demonstration Forest or to the wetlands and
the Moose Viewing Area or to the CIF interpretive Trail.
The trails are numerous and cater to all levels
of fitness and ability. The trails connect and link together at
various points on the mountain (some are loop trails) so it is
important to obtain a trail map. The hundreds of kilometres of
trails provide hours of fun and in some cases days and days of
exploration. For multi day trips there are shelters and cabins
along the routes.
Some of the routes lead to wildlife viewing areas
while others lead to viewpoints and wilderness cabins. The Troll
Lake, Viewpoint, Lookout, Easy Rider, Treeline and Frost Lake
Trails lead through the forests to either the Troll Lake (rest
stop), Viewpoint (shelter) or Treeline (overnight) Cabins.
The Link, Caledonia, East Rider, Hickory Wing,
Sawdust, Willow Canyon, Jackrabbit, Bowes Creek, Hydroline, Crossover
and Martin Trails all are link trails connecting to other trail
routes which eventually lead to the cabins and viewpoints.
The assortment of trails on the mountain start
from different parking lots depending on the destination desired.
Parking Lots G, H and J are the parking lots located on Highway
16 and the most easy to access. Parking Lot A through F are located
on the gravel roads leading up the mountain.
The mountain is rugged wilderness country and all
explorers need to be well prepared for wind chill and sudden changes
in the weather. Always plan your routes and explore in groups.
And always wear adequate clothing and pack a first aid kit, flashlight
and water proof matches. The trails do not have garbage cans so
pack out what you pack in.
