Access
Park near the Lillooet River bridge and take an old road to the right on the north side of the bridge. The trail begins a few meters up the road on the left.
Route
Follow the trail straight up through woods to an old logging road. The trail follows this for a while then traverses up Wolverine Creek, and then across an old rock slide. A little searching may be required to find the markers on the other side; they are slightly uphill of the entry point. The route follows the right hand side of Wolverine Creek up to the pass and then down to the head of the lake. The Tenquille Lake Cabin is located just inside the trees by the lake. The cabin may be buried in snow, but the chimney can usually be spotted.
Hazards
- Avalanche hazard above tree line and on trail below Copper Mound.
