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.
From Prince George, take Highway 97 South till you reach Quesnel (114 km). When you see the giant gold pan, turn left onto the Barkerville Hwy/BC-26 East. Continue on this road for 79.4 km, you will past the town of Wells and will see Bowron Lake Park Road on the left. Turn left onto Bowron Lake Park Road. In 300 m turn right towards Likely, this is 3100 Road. Follow this road for 7.5 km to the bridge over Grouse Creek. Cross the bridge and immediately turn left on the the 1600 Road (the signage will say Atan-Chisel Loop). After the 1614 km sight there is a small lake on the right, take the next turn right. After driving through a lodgepole pine plantation area, take the left fork. Parking is about 1 km from the 1600 Road.
