Maps and location

View a more detailed map.

Pink Mountain Provincial Park is located approximately 180km northwest of Fort St. John. It is reached by turning west off the Alaska Highway at mile 147, onto Road #192. This road proceeds in a south-westerly direction for 16 km. At this point there is a fork in the road, access to Pink Mountain is by the northerly fork which travels up Pink Mountain via a number of switchbacks. The road to the summit of Pink Mountain is not maintained in winter and is accessible by vehicle only from late spring to fall. This road requires a high clearance vehicle and becomes rutted and slippery after rains. Caution advised.
