Frosty Mountain is the highest summit in Manning Provincial Park. It's an easy day trip from the road. The route described here follows a trail along a ridge east of Frosty Creek to the east summit. The west summit, not described here, is slightly higher and located about 1 km to the northwest. The upper Larch meadows are particularly nice in the fall when the needles are yellow. From the summit you can see the peaks of Cathedral Park to the east and the Noth Cascades to the south.
From Vancouver, drive east past Hope on Highway 5. Take Exit 177 onto Highway 3, heading for Penticton. Follow Highway 3 Through Manning Park to the Manning Park Lodge on the south side of the highway. Turn right off the highway just past the lodge onto Gibson Pass Road and follow this road for 2.9km to the turnoff for the Lightening lakes Day Use Area. The Parking Lot is 700m up this road(1250m)
From Lightning Lake Park at the parking lot at Lightning Lake picnic grounds. Go around the end of the easternmost end of the Lightening Lake chain. There is both a bridge made of floating logs and also a permanent bridge. This puts you onto the dam. The dam is marked as a black vertical line on the 1:50,000 map, at 49:03:40-120:49:28 (at NAD27 (590-363). The trail up to Frosty starts almost immediately from the end of the lake, and starts climbing southwest. The junction is clearly marked with a sign. (the other branch goes along the lake). The first water, and the only authorized campsite is at 49:02.9-120:49.4 at 1910m. Once above the campsite, the trail begins to traverse south across increasingly open ridges, dotted with beautiful larch trees. These larches are supposedly 2000 years old, some of the oldest trees in Canada. Finally just before the base of the final climb is another possible bivy site with water, but camping is illegal and there is little place one could hide a tent. The final climb is up a well trodden trail on fairly firm rocks. |
