what to expect

Monashee Park protects substantial stands of old growth cedar, spruce and hemlock. Lush green forests grace the valley and in the spring, alpine meadows blossom with a colourful wildflowers. The park is also known for some of the oldest rock formations in western Canada. Peters and Margie Lakes sparkle beneath 2,697 metre high Mount Fosthall, the highest peak in the park. It is part of the rugged Monashee Range of snow capped peaks that surround the park. Lucky visitors may get a glimpse of the rare mountain caribou or wolverine or the much more common mule deer, ground squirrels and pikas.  This undeveloped mountain wilderness is a wonderful adventure for both experienced backcountry hikers and willing beginners alike.
