This trail is located about 155 kms southeast of Prince George via Highway 16 and the Catfish Forest Road. It is located within Erg Mtn Prov. Park. Near the beginning of the trail is a dangerous crossing of Ptarmigan Creek. The the trail is very brushy and hard to follow as it crosses gravel flats. Thereafter it is very steep and leads more or less straight up the east side of the mountain to an alpine area at an elevation of approximately 1670 m (5500 ft). From there one can hike to a small lake or up to a ridge, eventually leading to the summit of Erg Mountain, elevation 2296 m (7534 ft).
The trail has been recently brushed and the Ptarmigan Creek crossing can be treacherous. Only very experienced hikers should attempt this trail.
