Plan Tetrahedron Park near Sechelt with cabin-based hiking and skiing, watershed rules, avalanche terrain, Gray Creek FSR access, no pets, and no swimming.
Tetrahedron Park is northeast of Sechelt in the Sea to Sky region. BC Parks says it protects mountain peaks, lakes, streams, wetlands, and the Sechelt-area community watershed, with elevations from 900 to 1,800 metres and landmarks such as Tetrahedron Peak, Panther Peak, and Mount Steele.
Recreation is limited but includes hiking, cross-country skiing, and overnight use of cabins.
Why Visit Tetrahedron Park
Tetrahedron is a local backcountry destination for hikers and winter travellers who are prepared for watershed rules and avalanche terrain. Trails lead through mountain and western hemlock, Pacific silver fir, yellow-cedar, old-growth forest, lakes, and high viewpoints.
In winter, visitors use the park for backcountry skiing rather than groomed skiing. BC Parks states there are no set tracks, avalanche hazards exist, and users need navigation, winter travel skills, avalanche equipment, and training.
Things To Do
Hike signed trails, stay on designated routes, use cabins where appropriate, backcountry ski with suitable training, snowshoe cautiously, and observe wildlife such as deer, cougar, black bear, birds, and rare marbled murrelet habitat from a distance.
Planning Notes
Protecting drinking water is central here. Mechanized vehicles, mountain bikes, snowmobiles, hunting, dogs and other pets, open fires, and swimming or bathing in streams or lakes are prohibited. Camp only at designated cabins, use outhouses for all human waste, wash dishes only in cabins, pack out garbage, and carry a camp stove. Gray Creek Forest Service Road is the main access; four-wheel drive, good winter tires, and chains are recommended in winter. Check avalanche conditions before leaving Sechelt.
