A group of 5 blazed the trail up to the lookout on Driscoll Ridge today. No views at the top but that’s not always the point😉 Get out and explore!!

Description:

This trail is about 1 hour east of Prince George, BC. In this adventure, I take us through the West Driscoll Ridge Trail. The trailhead starts off Highway 16, following the West Driscoll signs after passing both Viking Ridge and Raven Lake signs heading eastward. We hiked 9.63 km round trip to the lake up top, ascending 933 meters (max elevation was 1650 meters) for a total time of 4 hours and 32 minutes

There is some water along this trail (with a lake near the summit), and the cell signal was spotty near the summit.
