Location:
Kitwanga
Mountain is located in the Nass Range near Kitwanga. To access
the park from Highway 16 turn north onto Highway 37 at Kitwanga
and cross the bridge spanning the Skeena River. Turn left
off the highway after 1 km and drive west along the back road
to Cedarville. In 1 km there is a bridge and in another 2.5
km the road crosses Mill Creek. Once across, it makes a sharp
left turn before bearing right to climb up a hill. Near the
top, less than 1 km from Mill Creek, take the side road to
the right. Stay on the road that turns left up the hill with
the standing timber directly to the right. Where that road
bears left at the top of the cutblock, take the older road
that continues straight ahead and steeply up through standing
timber. It soon bears right and then left and then left again
before petering out about half a km from the logged area.
At the last left turn a skid road goes straight ahead up the
slope. That is the start of the trail. After a marshy patch,
look on the right for a line of blaze marks to indicate where
the trail heads up the slope.

Safety:
- The initial,
flat section of the road leading into the park is very poor
and is only passable by standard vehicles if in dry condition.
Otherwise the road should only be used with a 4 x 4 or ATV
vehicle. The trail is very steep and is not suitable for children
or for anyone else not prepared to invest considerable effort
in order to reach the summit.

Kitwanga
Mountain Park has a modestly maintained hiking trail.
Getting to the timberline on Kitwanga Mountain is
very challenging because the trail is very steep
and there are not very many viewpoints along the
way. Perseverance is well rewarded with the best
view possible of the Seven Sisters peaks. This trail
is also known as the Bernadine Trail, cut and blazed
by the Forest Service in the late 1970s.
For
your own safety and the preservation of the park,
obey posted signs and keep to designated trails.
Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil
structure.
