Milford Peak

Trail Overview

The nearby Buchanan Lookout is a beautiful spot, but if you want an even better view of Kootenay Lake, Milford Peak is just 5km away. While the road to Buchanan is relatively easy for any vehicle with moderate ground clearance, the trail to Milford is a bit more demanding. There are narrow rutted treed sections that will cause pin-striping, and the run-up to the top of the peak has a 35-degree incline. A high-clearance 4x4 is recommended.

Difficulty

The trail overall would be a 3 if it weren't for the 500m section at the top with the 35deg climb. It is steep enough that someone inexperienced could find themselves in very serious trouble (i.e.: rolling their vehicle hundreds of meters down a mountain) if they make an incorrect move.
