Mountain Trail is a great opportunity to view
the community of Terrace from the top of a local mountain. The
moderate trail is rough in parts and does have some steep sections
throughout the hiking route... but in general it is an easy hike.
The total hike should take an average person 3
hours to complete the 5 kilometre trek.
The Terrace Mountain Trail is
located within the community city limits and enjoys 2 easily accessible
trailheads, both with a large sign that is easily spotted. The
trail works its way along river rock beds, over dead fall trees
and exposed roots and explores up along ridges trekking through
forests and heavy foliage.
The viewpoints along the way vary with the highlight
being the views from the top of the mountain at "Big Rock".
Along the trail, one might have the opportunity to view some wildlife
like bears, eagles and deer and maybe, a moose.
The hiking trailheads are at the end of Halliwell
Ave or at the end of Johnstone Street. The trail is also within
walking distance of some of the other community hikes like the
Howe Creek Trail
and the Heritage Walking Tour.
