return from summer trailhead; excludes winter road approach
A short summer forest walk to a rustic six-person cabin on the Grizzly Den approach. Winter access adds the unplowed forest road.
1. Getting there and 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.
2. Walking the route
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.
3. Route map
Published locations only. A complete route line is still needed.
Published locations
Numbered points match the map. Use the role beside each point. A summit or park reference point is not a parking location.
