#8 Mount Terry Fox
6 km one way with an extreme elevation gain of 6000' (1800 meters) This trail takes you to the top of Mount Terry fox by way of 17 switchbacks and 6000' (1800 meters) of elevation gain in 6 km. The trail was built in Honor of Terry Fox in 1981, a monument was placed on a table top like mountain which is North of the summit. To get to both the monument and the summit allow a long day. There are several view points of the Robson valley and the surounding Mountain ranges on your way up so there is no shortage of rest stops along the way. There is no water on this hike until you get to a small alpine lake on the other side of the radio tower ridge.
Getting There Access is across the highway from the Terry Fox View point on Highway 5 6 km North of Valemount, just follow the signs.
