Whether you're a hiker, rider, camper, outdoor enthusiast, music lover or simply someone who appreciates BC's wild spaces, you are invited!

Red Mountain & Mount Baldy Access Update: We have been informed that the railway crossing gate at 1.7 km on the Fraser Flats Road will be locked during periods of non-industrial use. This is related to requirements of a crossing agreement with CN. This will likely happen within the next week or so. In addition the crossing at 1.7km is scheduled for repairs this summer, the exact date is unknown at this time. During this period pedestrian access will be restricted. For those heading into the Red Cabin access is still available using the Penny trailhead.

Any further updates on this closure will be posted on the PGBRS Instagram, Facebook, and website. You can also email [email protected] with any questions.

PGBRS Cabin Booking System Update!
Effective immediately the booking system for the PGBRS Cabins (Raven, Grizzly, Red, The Farm, and Longworth) has been changed to a 4 month rolling system from a Summer and Winter intake system. This has been done in part to avoid system crashes due to heavy volumes when the seasonal bookings open. This approach will require a bit more planning by parties and will hopefully reduce the frenzied bookings on past opening nights. This system should also be easier on the volunteers managing the booking system. Over the years we have heard a lot of feedback on the cabin booking system, hopefully this will address some of the common complaints. This change is now live on the PGBRS booking page.

We will trial this system out to see how it works and may adjust down the road. We are also looking at more sophisticated booking software, but that comes with a heftier price tag. Thank you.
