The hike is a strenuous ascent to a set of long‑abandoned mica workings situated around the 2,130‑metre level on Mica Mountain. The route starts out along old logging roads and skid trails that were cleared for hikers in 1992, then transitions onto the original mule track at the upper edge of a logging area dating back to the early 1960s.

Coming soon.

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.

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.
