This is a very scenic tail which sees very few hikers. At around 2.3 km mark on the the trail you will reach a lookout overlooking the Robson Valley. Another 2km of hiking will take you into the alpine. There are very few trail markers once you reach the alpine. Eventually the trail slopes into another valley where the first views of Bob Lake can be seen. The trail winds its way down to the lake and to Tom's Cabin which is located on the west side of the lake. 

Mount Magnus (not its official name since mountains can only be name after people who are no longer alive) is located in the Bowron Lakes area east of Quesnel. This trail is steep, making it comparable to doing the Grouse Grind in North Vancouver (but shorter). Being adjacent to Bowron Lake Provincial Park, from its peak, you can see Spectacle Lake and the Cariboo Mountain Range. Since the trail is south facing, it is a good early season hike to do.

Haldi Lake is a small lake of Haldi Rd. You can hike to the lake starting from two different locations.

The Short Route:

Drive to the end of Haldi Road. From there follow the trail to you reach Haldi Lake. Distance is around 1 km.

The Long Route:

Starting from the end of Domano Blvd, travel along the Domano Forest Service Road to you reach the second power line (4.5 km), then head west along the powerline for almost 4km. There will be a trail to the right, take that and follow it the you reach the lake. Total distance about 11 km.

The hike begins through low-elevation forests and follows the remnants of an old community-built trail from the 50’s and 60’s. From there the trail winds through old-growth cedars that are estimated to be more than 800 years old, and through spruce and subalpine fir stands with occasional views over the Robson Valley to the south. The cabin itself looks out across the valley between Red and Green Mountain and was refurbished in 2022.

Like Longworth Lookout, spectacular views can be had of the Fraser Valley, the Cariboo Mountains to the south and the Rockies to the north and east. The trail is steep in sections with an elevation gain of 1300 m and no sources of water along the way. Hikers should be in good shape and well equipped to hike this trail.

A six km trail leading to a small A-frame cabin on the West end of Home Lake. Cabin is available for public use on a first come basis for a maximum stay of 2 nights.

The trail heads up the valley to a fork in the stream. The north fork descends from a pass to the right at the headwaters of the milk river. The south fork, which the trail follows, leads to Cariboo Pass. Along the trail is a scenic waterfall, and great alpine meadows. Above the Pass, on both sides, are magnificent views of the icefields with the Kristi Glacier located to the west. At the end of the trail (3 km past the pass) are campsites with camp pads.

Hixon Falls is a beautiful canyon hiking trail that ends at a 100 foot cascading waterfall. Hixon Creek itself, is named after a 19th century prospector Joseph Foster Hixon who did find gold on the banks of the creek. The Falls are equally spectacular in the winter when the water has frozen over.

Bowron Lake Provincial Park is a large wilderness area situated on the western slopes of the Cariboo Mountain Range and is one of the top padding destinations in the world. The canoeing circuit encompasses a 116 km chain of lakes, waterways and connecting portages. There are a few hiking trails located along the circuit that one can take to see some inspiring views of the valley or to see spectacular waterfalls.
