Granby River Trail-The trail begins
several kilometres south of the park at the Traverse Creek recreation site.
Five kilometres of trail leads to the park
boundary where the trail continues for another five and a half kilometres.
An old fire access trail, built in the 1930’s during a significant fire,
continues several more kilometres before gradually disappearing. The trail
eventually gained the ridgeline on the east boundary of the park before joining
another trail at Mt. Sloan. The lower 12 km of the Granby Trail is the only
section of trail in the park that has seen recent improvements which were done
by the Ministry of Forests and Granby Wilderness Society volunteers.
Height of Land Route- A long route weaves in and out of the park
along the western northern and eastern boundaries. This route is
located mostly in the alpine and sub-alpine and has been used by
hunters, horse back riders and miners in the past. Much of the
route is overgrown and impassable. Beginning on the western boundary,
a horse trail in good condition leads up from the end of the Goatskin
Creek road to a cabin at the height of land. The route then crosses
into the park and heads north along the height of land skirting
east around Reith Lakes and ending up at Lighting Peak, a distance
of roughly 11 kilometres. From Lightning Peak to Mt. Scaia are
horse trails through meadows that wind in and out of the park.
The hike around the headwaters of the Granby River is roughly 12
kilometres and offers excellent vistas. The eastern section follows
the height of land from Mount Scaia to Franklin Creek, passing
over Mount Young and Mount Sloan in a distance of nearly 40 kilometres.
Mt.
Young Cabin Trail - The cabin can be accessed from the Height
of Land Route or via the trail leading up from Johnstone Creek,
through the headwaters of Burrell Creek.
Arthurs
Lake Trail - This trail accesses Arthurs Lake in the western
portion of the park from the logging road that follows Arthurs
Creek.
Bluejoint Lookout
Trail - This short trail only reaches the park at its terminus. The trail leaves
a logging road north of Howe
Creek, and ascends Bluejoint Mountain, a distance of roughly
three kilometres.
Rawhide Trail - This
is an old trail reported to have led from Lightening Peak down to Edgewood
via Eagle Creek used by miners
for hauling ore down to the lake.
