Description:

The Morice Mountain (Carrier-Alpine) Trail starts at the end of an old logging road. The Morice Land Resource Management Plan (LRMP) states that quads can only travel up to the 1500 metre (4921 feet) elevation point. Beyond that, hikers, skiiers, snowshoers and snowmobilers can continue up towards the summit. The trail weaves through fields of dead grey timber from the Swiss Fire. This is an open hiking experience, with opportunities to view mountain goats and alpine flowers. Three radio repeater towers are located at the summit (elevation 5971 feet or 1820 metres)
