parked at the end of
Grainger road then, heading in a northerly direction,
I skirted around a private property and picked up an old trail that
leads to
open slopes below a water tower. I aimed for the water tower then
followed an
old road that leads to a well maintained gravel road. The best option
is to
drive up that road (may not be plowed). To exercise that option, find
the Kootenay River FSR
east of town, drive a short distance and look for a well-maintained
gravel road turning left, 858565. Drive (the part I hiked) for several
kms to a
pull-off/junction with a road closure sign (between december and end of
april),
838617. Park here if early in the season. Follow this road to the 9
marker where it veers left, north-east. About 500 m. from that
point, a trail heads in a southerly direction, (climber's right),
860603. Follow it to the
summit where there is a paraglider launch. |
