About This Trail

The trail rises to an unnamed prominence (~1,994 m) just east of Mount Seaton (2,036 m). It offers “superb views down into the Seaton Basin … out to local ranges (Rocher, Deboule, Hudson Bay, Telkwa, Babine, Goat and Blunt) and beyond. It begins through the forest, climbs steadily, then transitions to the ridge — the final section has some steep terrain. One of the easier alpine trails and one of the best. Follow the trail up the ridge. Watch for mountain goats and moose.

Safety & Preparation

The Seaton Ridge Trail is a high-elevation alpine hike with steep grades, exposed ridgelines, and limited maintenance. The access road (Seaton FSR) can be rough, narrow, and washed out in spots — a high-clearance 4×4 vehicle is highly recommended. Logging activity and seasonal closures may occur without notice. Weather in the alpine changes rapidly; fog, high winds, or sudden snow are common even in mid-summer. There are no facilities or water sources along the ridge. The trail can be slippery when wet, with steep drop-offs in sections. Always bring appropriate footwear, layers, navigation tools, bear spray, and sufficient food and water. Check recent trail or road reports before heading out, and let someone know your route and expected return time.
