There are many different ways to reach the top of Observation Mountain. The most popular route is up along a road just southeast of Copper Ridge Estates.

A quicker, but steeper, route starts at the turn-around at the bottom of the gravel road going to the Wildlife Hall on 2nd St.

Heading off the parking lot area and up the hill to the left, you will find a faint walking trail that winds through the trees. This part is quite steep until you get to the open hillside. At the top of this section you veer off to the right onto a trail (look for a large flat rock pointing the way into the trees).

The trail wraps around the right side of the hill overlooking the Wildlife Hall and parking area. Eventually the trail turns left and climbs straight up until you suddenly come out at the top of Observation Mountain under “the star”.

If you don’t want to go back down the same way you can take an easier route to the road. Walking west along the top you ill come to a 4 wd road that winds down the back (north) side of the mountain. After dropping a fair distance take the road to the right, which eventually brings you to the Granby River.

Walking east (down river), you will see a flagged trail that goes up a path off the river trail to the right. This trail starts just before you come out into a very large open area which is private property. Go off the river path and up into the trees to reach one end of the “Lincoln Trail”. It is a much smaller, single-track trail.
