This trail is located about 2 hours east of Prince George, BC. Erg Mountain Provincial Park is a beautiful area as seen in the videos below. We show the drive down the Catfish logging road where a few steep spots require careful navigation to make it through 4×4 or a good backcountry SUV that can handle steep climbs is essentially a must. Ptarmigan Creek was a challenge to cross at the trailhead so I moved downstream a bit and it was easier to cross. There is water most of the hike up this trail and cell signal was only working for me once I reached the ridgeline.
