An exploratory point-to-point link joins the Pilot Mountain neighbourhood with the Pidherny network and Nechako Ridge lookout. It is longer and less settled than the short Pilot Mountain summit walk.
1. Getting there and parking
The reported outing starts at the end of Christina Road in the Pilot Mountain area and finishes at Nechako Ridge lookout on North Nechako Road West. Arrange the return from the separate endpoint before starting, or plan a substantially longer out-and-back. Confirm public access and parking at both ends; the short summit-road gate is not the starting point used in this account.
2. Walking the route
The report links connecting trails from Pilot Mountain through the Pidherny system and onward to the Nechako Ridge lookout. It describes a roughly 7 km one-way concept, while the posted exploratory recording is 10.39 km and explicitly includes unnecessary bushwhacking. Those are not two verified variants of a clean maintained route. Review the original map and trip explanation to identify the intended connections, then stay on current public trails and avoid copying the off-trail detours. Pidherny is shared with mountain bikes, so remain alert at technical or descending trails. A complete verified junction sequence is still missing from the public text.
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.
