At the Lookout on Embleton Mountain, between Heffley Creek and Sun Peaks.
The BC Forest Service had established a trail network on the south flank of Embleton Mountain for many years. A number of different routes can be taken from either the west trail head or the east one. The west trailhead is the more direct route, but is steeper and you have to park across the road. The east trailhead at N50 50.337, W120 02.285 has parking and posted maps of the area. There is currently selective logging in the area in patches right up to the viewpoint, but we found it easy just to choose one of the trails that has little activity. The upper slopes of Embleton are full of wildflowers from late May to late June. Near the viewpoint,there is a whole slope of chocolate lilies to enjoy. This is pleasant hike, one which we have done every year for decades. The gentlest approaches are on the east side, but the best views are on the west side so hikers can go up one way and come down another. Routes vary from 3 to 4 km each way, depending on your routes chosen. There are wonderful views of Heffley Lake and the hills surrounding the valley. This cache was grandfathered into the Twenty Peaks series in November of 2009.
