Skull Mountain Trails

Back Country Trail
This is a provincially designated Wildlife Management Area and therefore used for non motorized recreation only. For decades, Skull Mountain has been used for horseback riding. Since the 2003 wildfires, the burned wood has been removed, resulting in magnificent vistas of the North Thompson Valley to the north and south. The elevation in this area is relatively low and can be hot in the summer. There is an abundance of water on these trails. Trails open April to October.
