Elevation profile

A full-route elevation profile is not available yet.

A reusable trail line has not yet been verified for this outing. Any location pin shows the published location described above; it does not draw the hike or establish a navigable approach.

Getting there & parking

Take Highway 16 east from Prince George to Hungary Creek Forest Service Road. PGBRS places the Grizzly Den / 8-Mile trailhead roughly 13 km along the unmaintained road. A vehicle with suitable clearance and all-wheel drive is recommended for summer. Check road conditions before leaving.

Map position: 53.77389, -121.49641 · club-published cabin destination. PrinceGeorgeBackcountryRecreationSociety publishes8MileCabin waypoint53.773891,-121.496412. Club warns waypoints are approximate; cabin destination is not the roadside trailhead.

On the trail

Follow the Grizzly Den trail to 8-Mile Cabin and return the same way. The published 1.5 km return distance starts at the summer trailhead. The cabin waypoint shown on the map is a destination, not roadside parking.

Conditions & seasons

Hungary Creek Forest Service Road is not plowed in winter, adding about 13 km each way to reach the summer trailhead. Snow-free vehicle access is usually mid-June to mid-October, subject to conditions.

These are dated research notes. Open the trip planner for current available weather and advisory feeds; no alert found does not establish that a trail or road is open.
