About This Trail

This trail is the first phase of the Round the Mountain Trail, extending approximately 6.5 km to a beautiful alpine meadow. It also serves as the primary access route to the Backdoor trail, making it an important connection within the Hudson Bay Mountain trail network.


The route features a steady climb through forest before emerging into open alpine terrain with rewarding views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. It is suitable for hikers, trail runners, and mountain bikers seeking a scenic climb and access to higher-elevation trails.


Please follow trail etiquette to help protect the area and ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience: stay on the designated trail, no dogs are permitted, yield to uphill traffic, and share the trail respectfully with hikers, runners, and mountain bikers. Ride at a controlled speed and enjoy the spectacular views along the way.

Leave No Trace

Please follow Leave No Trace principles: pack out all waste, stay on designated trails, respect wildlife, and be considerate of other visitors.

Getting There

Directions

Parking

Limited roadside or trail access parking may be available near the trail entry points and connecting forestry roads. Visitors should avoid blocking gates, trail access, or active forestry routes. 

Safety & Preparation

The trail may contain steep climbs, loose rocks, roots, muddy sections, and narrow singletrack areas. Wildlife may be present, including bears and other animals common in northern BC.
