Kitwanga Mountain Park is in the Nass Range near Kitwanga. BC Parks says Kitwanga Mountain was established as a provincial park in 1997, and that the steep climb rewards visitors with a view of the Seven Sisters mountain range.
Access begins from Highway 16, Highway 37, Cedarvale Road, and a rough road that BC Parks says can only be driven by a four-wheel-drive vehicle or ATV.
Kitwanga Mountain Park is for hikers who want a short but steep mountain objective with strong northern views. From the parking and turnaround location, the old road and trail are roughly three kilometres long and gain 800 metres of elevation.
The Kitwanga Mountain Trail was rebuilt through a joint project by BC Parks and volunteers from Round Square International Schools at Soaring Spirits Camp. BC Parks still calls it steep, but says it is clear and in good condition to a viewpoint at timberline. From the top of the trail there are views of the Seven Sisters Peaks and up and down the Skeena Valley.
Wildlife viewing is another reason to plan carefully. The park includes high-value grizzly bear habitat in the subalpine, good moose habitat, and lower-elevation migratory bird viewing opportunities.
Plan around the rebuilt Kitwanga Mountain Trail, the Bernadine Trail history, Seven Sisters viewpoints, Skeena Valley photography, birdwatching, grizzly and moose habitat awareness, and careful route planning.
Bring drinking water because potable water is not available. Do not drive beyond the marked turnaround; the road narrows with no further turnaround points and may force a steep reverse.
