Malkow Lookout
The Malkow Lookout must be one of my favorite family hikes in the Smithers vicinity. To find the trail head drive up the old Babine Lake Road. Hang a left on McCabe Road and follow it up until you see a parking lot to your left (on your right you will see a sign for the Logpile Lodge - wonderful bed and breakfast).
The Malkow Lookout Trail winds through private land. So please be considerate - close all gates behind you. Good light hiking shoes are recommended as the trail might be muddy in spots... After hiking for about 40 minutes you begin to see Hudson Bay Mountain and the valley. Another 10-15 minutes will bring you to the top of the hill where the views are spectacular. There are two picnic tables at the "summit" should you decide to have a snack.
Happy hiking!
