Stone Mountain Provincial Park is one of many spectacular areas along the Alaska Highway. You reach the park after driving 365 miles from Dawson Creek, they are the first mountains you hit on the Alaska Highway. Standing right above the highway within the park is Summit Peak. A nice trail from Summit Pass and campground will quickly take you up to the summit. Not a bad way to stretch the legs after a long days drive. The trailhead is near Summit Pass, the highest point on the Alaska Highway at only 4,250 feet! During much of the summer, you can hike whenever, you won't need a flashlight. We hiked this mountain from 9 p.m. to midnight without lights.
The park is located at kilometer 595 (365 miles) of the Alaska Highway, roughly 140 kilometers (87 miles) west of Fort Nelson. Look for the trailhead across the highway from the campground.
