Park Info
The Trophy Mountains rise 2,575 metres into the sky, with nine peaks towering over the Shuswap Highlands of Southern Wells Gray Provincial Park. Their northern slopes are steep and cloaked in glaciers while their southern slopes are gentle and dotted with alpine lakes and flower meadows. The Trophy Mountain meadows are one of the most easily accessible sub-alpine meadows in BC.The area offers opportunities for hiking, backcountry overnight and day trips, camping, horseback riding, photography and nature appreciation and alpine ski touring and snowshoeing in the winter.
Return to Wells Gray Provincial Park.
Park Size: approximately 6934 ha
Special Notes:
- Open fires are not permitted; carry a backpacking stove.
Stay Safe:
- Do not underestimate the demands of the backcountry. The hiker must be in good physical condition, properly equipped, and prepared to be totally self-sufficient. Take adequate clothing: high elevation weather is subject to change without notice, and Wells Gray's mountains can receive snow 12 months of the year.
- Known as The Waterfall Park for good reason, streams and rivers have waterfalls of varying sizes -- never boat, canoe, raft or kayak without learning first where the pull-outs are.
- Trophy Mountain trail is usually open from late June until early October yearly.
