| Directions: Turn off Highway 16,
(west) on to King St. Go to Railway Ave and turn left (south) Cross
the railroad tracks and continue on the Ski Hill Road for 24 km. Go
to the last parking lot at the Green T lift. Walk up the hill on the
left along the rough dirt road. You'll see the footpath bear left
at the top of the hill. Just before Crater Lake, turn right up the
hill to the ridge top. Bear left up the ridge to the summit. |

Features: Excellent trail, steep
but not too steep until the last 20 metres at the summit. Be careful,
there are steep drop-offs on both sides of the peak and a sharp pitch.
You can scramble up the pitch or go down to the left and back up to
the small rock platform at the summit. There is a book chained to
a rock to sign your name. Be especally careful if the rock is wet
or snowy or if the wind is strong. Take extra clothing and a toque
and be prepared for high winds, sleet and freezing temperatures, even
on a hot summer day. |
