Onion Main Cabin

The Onion is part of Babine Mountains Provincial Park, and sledders can make use of two special permit areas: Four Lakes and Cronin. There are conditions and a defined number of trips for these rides. Contact the SSA BoD for more information on special permit rides. The ride up to the Onion shelter just outside the park boundary is about 9.5 kilometres, and another 4 kilometres will take you to Burdettes shelter, which is within the park. Families with some experience will enjoy a relaxing, easy ride to the first shelter, and kids can try out powder meadows and rolling hills while adults can take on some trickier challenges. Just past Burdettes, get ready for some steeper terrain, treed areas, creeks, glaciers and gullies, where experience in boondocking and navigating intermediate terrain are musts.
