This trail, built in 1980, ascends the southerly ridge to three small lakes where there are many camping opportunities. The summit is 3 kms and 1.5 hrs to the north. This is one of the more attractive alpine areas near Prince George and offers unlimited views. Route from lakes to summit is unmarked and tricky in cloudy conditions. (as of 2021 the route from the bottom lake (Emerald Lake) to the summit ridge is in need of clearing).
Good to first ridges and lake. Route to summit brushy in places.
