Park Size: 298 hectares

Management Planning:
  • Management Planning Information - there is no electronic version available.
  • This Park was established as a result of the Kalum Land and Resource Management Plan (Skeena Region). See News Release for more information.

Location:

Sleeping Beauty Mountain Park is located northwest of the City of Terrace. To get there, drive west on Highway 16 until you cross the Kitsumkalum River at the city limits. Turn north at the Tempo Gas Station onto the West Kalum Forest Service Road (FSR) (Please note that the West Kalum FSR is not plowed and is gated in the winter months), and follow this road for approximately 14 km before turning left on the Erlandsen FSR where there are signs for Sleeping Beauty Mountain park. Follow the Erlandsen FSR for approximately 5 km staying on the main branch - there are signs at each junction for Sleeping Beauty Mountain, follow these. It is highly recommended to park at the information shelter for Sleeping Beauty Mountain and walk up the last 1.5 km of access road - it is very narrow and overgrown. A well marked, good trail leaves the access road at the trailhead and climbs steeply through second growth before levelling off quickly and switch backing up through the old growth forest and into the subalpine.
