Seton Ridge Trail Info

Info from Bivouac:

Length: 9 km   Class:Trail2
Condition: Well maintained trail, most fall has been cut away. Because it is usually clear of snow by July 1, this area is a good early season objective. There is no water over the entire length of the trail

General Route: Seton Ridge is the treed ridge running east from the Cayoosh Range between Seton Lake and Copper Creek. The Seton Ridge trail starts from the Seton Ridge Road and runs up the ridge between Copper Creek and Seton Lake.

Markings: well beaten horse trail, but no flagging

How to Find:

How to Follow: To find the trail go west on the somewhat overgrown road at the pass. After about 100m look closely for an overgrown unmarked trail to your left. The trail heads up the ridge [directly on top of it] for the first 2 km. After reaching the first bump [6100 ft.] it drops about 500ft. to cross a saddle. Watch for an abrupt right turn before the saddle. The trail again joins the ridge until it reaches tree line. From here another 15 mins. of up hill takes you to the top of the second and highest bump at 7000 ft. and a splendid view. However, the horse trail side hills around this high point [watch for it on your left as the trees thin out and the alpine opens up] and joins the ridge again as it drops down. The trail continues on the ridge and again skirts around another bump on the ridge. Finally, as the trail approaches its end it leaves the ridge and angles to the left across a sloping meadow. The trail ends at an outfitters camp [6900ft.] beside a small stream, the first water since crossing Copper Creek on the logging road! From here one can scramble up loose rock to the top of an 8800ft. peak. [50:38.1-122:13.7]

Eastern Cayoosh Range
There is an excellent hiking/horse trail which takes you to a scenic alpine area in the Eastern Cayoosh Range. The trail is in good condition, and generally follows ridge tops which divide the Copper creek drainage with Seton lake. The summits beyond the meadowed area in the foreground are generally steep and rugged, and a number of them rise above 9000 feet (2743 m). I managed to scramble to the top of Peak Cy03, the 8800 foot (2682 m) peak seen in the center of this picture. I did this as a day trip, however, would recommend it as an overnighter, as the access trail is quite long (over 10 kms).

Access: At 75 kilometers along the Duffey Lake road (from Mt. Currie), a logging road branches left, crosses Cayoosh Creek and climbs to 4600 feet (1402 m) cresting the top of Seton Ridge. From this point (N50 39.0 W122 05.17 (WGS 84)), the Seton Ridge trail can be picked up and travels westward along Seton Ridge. Note: this waypoint was estimated from a map and is not an actual reading.
