Hiking up to Lookout, 100 Mile House, BC Views from Lookout, 100 Mile House, BC Forestry Lookout, 100 Mile House, BC

Begbie Lookout Trail is a short but steep hiking path located south of the community of 100 Mile House, British Columbia, Canada. The hiking trail climbs up the side of Begbie Mountain to a 1923 working Forest Fire Lookout Station used during the summer months to spot wildfires.

The lookout station sits at an elevation of 1276 metres and towers over the entire valley. The two story wooden lookout has a wrap around deck providing 360 degree views of lakes, mountains and trees. On clear day one can see Wells Gray Park in the east and the Marble Mountain Range in the west.

The hiking trail leading up to the lookout involves navigating of a short series of switchbacks. The trail is rough and involves hiking over loose rocks, exposed tree roots and around large boulders. It is a single-track trail that follows a ridge most of the way, so it is important to have good hiking boots and to be aware at all times of your footing.

At the base of the trail is a picnic table, pit toilets, an information billboard (although in rough shape and hard to read) and a large gravel parking lot. At the top of the trail is another pit toilet for public use and a picnic table. The hike to the top takes no longer than 5-10 minutes but do not be deceived as it is a good work out. The views are well worth the effort!

How to Get to Begbie Lookout: From the community of 100 Mile House travel south 20 kilometres on Highway 97 to the trailhead. Entrance is just off the highway but is hidden and poorly signed so be sharp and eyes open. Look for the "Point of Interest" sign on the highway between 83 Mile House and 93 Mile House.

Contact information for the local 100 Mile House community accommodations, tours, guides, activities, campgrounds, golf courses, attractions, realtors, etc. are posted under the community links listed to your right. >>>
