Glacier Gulch
We hiked a few trails and routes in Smithers, including a steep hike and scramble up Glacier Gulch. Hudson Bay Mountain stands above Smithers. The southeast side has a road up to ski runs and cross country trails. Above that is a good hike to the summit of the mountain. From the top I could see down into Glacier Gulch, a north-facing cirque which hosts a small glacier, surrounded by steep ridges. Snow lingered here into summer. A rugged and challenging area to explore any higher than this point.
The hike to the top of Hudson Bay Mountain on a different day was outstanding. This hike was interesting and good to do once.
