Info from Bivouac:
Elaho-Meager Trail (Stoltmann Wilderness Trail)
How To Find: The Elaho valley is dominated by rocky, partly rugged terrain. Up to the timberline (at about 1,400 to 1,500 m) the valley is mostly covered by continuous forest. On either side of the trail are large alpine areas with large snow and ice fields at about 2,000 m. The highest peak in the area is Mt Boardman (2,651 m) close to Clendenning Creek. Extensive areas above 1,800 m are still covered by glaciers. At its highest point, the trail passes through an alpine meadow which features dozens of lakes. These lakes make for wonderful swimming in August and September. From this point, several spectacular peaks overlooking the Pemberton Icefield can be ascended. The trail can be accessed either from the south end or the north end.
History: The trail construction was co-ordinated by the Western Canada Wilderness Committee in 1995 and attracted volunteers from far away lands like Ontario and Europe to help preserve the area from logging. The trail is fairly well marked once you get started. Another less known branch goes directly up the Meager creek to the large lake (Volunteer lake?) at UTM 623 975.
Destinations: The Elaho-Meager Trail is a multi-day backpacking trail which takes you through a unique ecological area behind the Pemberton Icecap, that was very rarely visited before the trail made it possible.
Bulletins:
2006.06.24 Vito Gudaitis:
Easy Access to South End of Trail: The south end of the trail is 2W drive accessible, with the exception of a log fallen accross the road around mile 61. It's only the tip of a large cedar that's in the way. It could be easily cut off with a bow saw. Wood bits and rocks have been piled around it so that it can be driven over, but clearance is useful. To find the trailhead drive up the Elaho Main just past mile 59. Turn left at the E1000 sign and stay on E1000 until about mile 64, where the road crosses Lava Creek on a substantial bridge, high above the creek. Take the left spur just after the crossing; it terminates at the trailhead a short distance from the bridge. E1000 is rough in places but basically in good shape, with no waterbars except for some shallow ones right next to the Lava Creek bridge. These are partly filled in with small logs. *
