Trail Description:
The trail contours east around the south slopes of the mountain, climbing quickly up into alpine. Continue to follow the obvious line toward the summit. The final climb to the old Dominion Fire Lookout is steep and narrow. Route finding increases with lingering snow. A second rigorous 1 hr. return trail to Twin Lakes branches left at the bridge just above the tree line. Steep cliffs, best in mid-summer to avoid snow and/or wet conditions.
Access:
Travel 29km east from Sicamous on Hwy 1. Approx. 1.9km past the Perry river Bridge, turn left (north) off Hwy 1 onto Crazy Creek Forest Service Rd. Set your odometer. Stay left at approx 4.5km (go uphill here, not down). Stay right at 5.2km (do not take the 6530 Rd). Stay left at 6.2km (new logging road on right going downhill). Stay right at 6.9km (do not take Branch 100). Stay right at 7.5km (do not take Branch 200). Go over first bridge at 8.1km. Stay right at 8.3km (stay level, don’t go uphill, do not take the 6700 Rd). Go over second bridge at 8.4km. Turn left at 8.7km where you will see a sign: Eagle Pass Mt Hiking Trail 5km. Drive to the trailhead at the end of the road (approx. 14km from Hwy 1). A 4wd may be necessary at this point as the road is rough. Look for trailhead sign.
