Location
Near the trailhead of Monashee Provincial Park
Participants
Planning
The route I will need to drive is the same used to get to the primary trailhead of Monashee Provincial Park (a park with no road access). The elevation stays under 900m (should be under the current snow line) and should be well-maintained.
The road happens to end exactly at the base of mountain I will need to climb, a trek of two and half kilometers and a rise of 800m with no trail.

The Drive
The Hike
Conclusions
A 10.03km hike (round-trip) ending 6.61km from the coordinates.
Lessons Learned
- Even popular areas have periods of inaccessibility for hiking or snowmobiling.
- As with forest service roads, park roads are not always maintained year-round.
- My boots need more wax.
Achievements
- Pushed myself a little harder.
