Erg Mountain in Northern BC2025-Sep-03Dry

Erg Mountain Trail cleared/brushed to the Erg Mountain Sign, approximately 2.5 K from the Ptarmigan Creek Crossing. Now suitable for a bicycle for those who are able to get a bike across the creek. The creek depth at the crossing is currently just below the knees. The trail has not been cleared brushed beyond the Erg sign so some wind fall remain and still some brushing in the Rhododendron section but hoping to get to that later this fall.

Access to the Erg Mountain Trail was an easy drive, a high clearance SUV would have been able to make the drive as you can see in the video clips.

The Ptarmigan River did not have very high flow and did not look too bad for crossing (we crossed higher upstream in the video). As you can see by Aerial Footage near the Erg Trailhead, the Ptarmigan has several logs that can be used to cross downstream.

Description:

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.
