Description:

Backcountry Route hikes are only for the most advanced and experienced hikers. The areas featured as “routes” are generally not marked in the bush and have no posted signs. These routes are merely suggestions of how to get up the mountain. Advanced navigational skills will be required. A combination of GPS data, spatially referenced digital maps, as well as a compass will be necessary for the best success. There are no amenities in the wilderness. Never venture out into the back country without proper gear and emergency provisions.

Pimpernel Mountain:

Pimpernel Mountain is a small knob in the heart of the Bill Nye area. While it is not the largest of features, it offers amazing views of Nadina Mountain and the Coast Range. The route up Pimpernell is steep and fairly difficult. Once on top, scattered Whitebark Pine and Balsams are not too big to block the view. There is no accessible water sources along the way, make sure to bring lots of water.
