Situated on private forest lands under licence to the RDN, the trail winds up from Highway 4A through deep woods, develops into a loop, and finishes at an old ski hill below Mt Cokely. It's a good four-hour climb with 1,000 metres in elevation gain on rough but ready trail. The views from the forested mountain trail are spectacular, and there is a great lookout halfway up. It's high country so be prepared: pack water, warm clothing and wear sturdy boots.

Access Info

Parking is alongside highway 4 across from Cameron Lake.
