Trailhead: parking area on right side of forestry road 940, 11 km south of Highwood Junction
Driving distance to trailhead: 130 km one way
Special driving note: 11 km are on a good quality but narrow gravel road. One is required to park in a manner that does not block gate access for logging trucks.
Special Hiking Note: the trail splits after approximately 2/3 of the distance, and users can choose an easy way or a hard way, thus the information about two different trail distances.
Hazards: this trail is a high lookout, and thus subject to possible lightning strikes. This is also bear country - please have your bear spray ready to use!
