Pilot Mountain Snowshoe to start 2026

In this adventure, we hike up Pilot Mountain in Northern BC, 15 minutes northwest of Prince George, BC.

This is a relatively easy/short hike (easier than Teapot Mountain in my opinion) and is very close to the city limits of Prince George, BC. Hikers can start at the trailhead and head up the cell tower access road then choose to enter the forest after the first clearcut on the left (ribbons show this location) or for an easier hike to the summit, the access road can be followed all the way to the top. There is a cell signal all of the way as there are numerous cell towers at the summit of Pilot Mountain, but watch out for bears that frequent the area.
