About This Trail

Harold Price Trail is a scenic backcountry route within Babine Mountains Provincial Park, offering a rewarding journey through diverse landscapes that range from lush forests to open alpine terrain. Known for its peaceful setting and fewer visitors, the trail is an excellent choice for hikers seeking a quieter and more remote wilderness experience away from the park's busier routes.


The trail gradually climbs through mature forest before emerging into subalpine and alpine landscapes, where expansive mountain vistas and pristine natural surroundings await. Along the way, hikers can enjoy breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the Babine Mountains, making this route a favorite for photography, wildlife viewing, and those looking to immerse themselves in British Columbia's rugged backcountry.


Whether you're planning a challenging day hike or a longer wilderness adventure, Harold Price Trail offers an unforgettable experience filled with spectacular scenery and tranquil surroundings. Visitors should come well prepared with appropriate gear, plenty of water, navigation tools, and sufficient time, as the trail's remote location and alpine environment require careful planning and respect for changing mountain conditions.
