Boulder Mountain near Crescent Spur BC2026-Jan-21Snowshoe Packed

Trail conditions were absolutely perfect. Crusty snow meant walking mostly on top of the crusty layer. We were able to do an afternoon summit, just before the sun set, get out there while conditions are this great!

We snowshoe packed within 100 meters of the meadows, this was one of the most brutal snowshoes i've ever done as the snow was deep the whole way and breaking trail was very hard, but rewarding and fun!

Hiked Boulder Mtn Saturday, snowshoes needed 4 km up the trail. Snow was getting pretty soft with the sun, I took a bath in it a few times.

This hike was up Boulder Mountain in Northern BC, East of Prince George.

The trail is about a 2-hour drive down Highway 16 from Prince George (just past the Zig Zag Ridge trail) and turns down the Goat River Forest Service Road. There are currently no signs showing the trailhead but you should drive about 1.5 km down the Goat River FSR and look for an open area with the trail starting on the left (see the video below showing the road and trailhead). There is no cell signal until you approach the summit and then you may get some signal from the Longworth Mt direction. Water sources exist most of the way up until you reach the subalpine.
