Distance: 17-18 km round trip (per AllTrails)
The hike begins along the Skogan Pass Trail, which ascends gradually for 3 to 4 kms. The cairn is our signal to turn and carry on another 1- 2 kms aiming for the "Living with Wildlife" sign. Now it's time to attack the steeper sections where the scenery opens up and we will have a clear view of our destination. Make it to that destination then enjoy x-large views. Before calling it a day on the main summit, let's head off to the lower summit. We'll retrace our steps a few hundred meters then ascend approximately 70 meters over a steep, loose rocky section. Within 15 -20 minutes, we will arrive at a wide-open flat meadow with a glorious view. This summit sports a solar-powered telemetry station. We will descend off this second summit via the southeast ridge then reconnect with the Skogan Pass Trail then follow it back to the trail head.
