Mount Pope is a 2,030-hectare park. It is a hugely popular destination for hikers and rock climbers alike.

There is a 6.5km trail that ascends to a high peak to provide a panoramic view of British Columbia’s famous scenery. There is a little gazebo at the top to sit for a quick rest while you’re glimpsing the untouched forestation, Stuart Lake, and mountains around. It is a beautiful sight with limestone rock formations, caves, rare plants and animal species around your trek.

There are opportunities for mountain biking, hunting, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing in the wintertime.
