Nadina Mountain Park is about 42 kilometres southwest of Houston in west-central British Columbia. BC Parks says access follows a radio-controlled logging road where loaded logging trucks have the right of way, and a high-clearance vehicle is required after Owen Lake. Houston is the nearest community.
The park protects an isolated granitic mountain with mountain goats, grizzly bears, lichen communities, and granitic spires.
Nadina Mountain is for experienced hikers and climbers. The strenuous route climbs the northeast slope from an old cutblock outside the park through forest to alpine. The trailhead is at 867 metres, alpine begins around 1,686 metres, and after that the trail fades so hikers must choose their own route toward the 2,125-metre summit.
BC Parks also highlights the Berkey-Howe Union Spire, a rare free-standing granite pillar at the head of a large cirque on the northeast exposure of Nadina Mountain. Mountain goats are often seen, and tufts of goat hair may be found on rocks along the route.
Hike the strenuous Nadina Mountain route, climb only if properly equipped and experienced, watch mountain goats from a respectful distance, hunt during open seasons, photograph alpine granite features, and study the solitary mountain setting.
There is no water on Nadina Mountain, so pack enough for the full climb and descent. Weather can reduce alpine visibility to metres, so mark the trail location for descent. Proceed cautiously on logging roads, respect Wet'suwet'en cultural connections, and never approach or feed wildlife.
