Stone Mountain Provincial Park
The park is located at mile 365 (595Km) of the Alaska Highway. You first enter Stone Mountain
Provincial Park by driving roughly 85 miles (140 Km) northwest of Fort Nelson, B.C.
It's just about impossible to pass through Stone Mountain Provincial Park without seeing wildlife,
especially of the Stone Sheep kind. These two fellows were very accommodating
and posed right next to the vehicle for a photo shoot. Some of their buddies were not quite as excited
about the whole picture taking thing and kept their distance from us. Little did they know, I have
a telephoto lens!
Stone Mountain Provincial Park
Of all the camping in Stone Mountain Provincial Park there would not be one that we would not
consider our favorite place to stay. This is to say every one of the campgrounds is exceptional
in its own way and all are very worthy of being a destination in themselves.
Summit Lake campground is a must visit if even just for
a mid day picnic or to stretch out the legs for a while. Muncho
Lake, located at Mile 462 on the Alasak Highway, actually has two camnpgrounds on its shores
with the southern campground being the smaller, but none less desirable, of the two. The northern
campground offers a boat launch and a dock with excellent lake trout fishing in the early months
of Summer, Late May to early June is my personal favorite with lakers present close to the shores
and at the edge of any ice.
