It is a popular summer tourist attraction and is especially noted for colourful alpine meadows. Numerous hiking routes are possible beyond the end of the trail at Sheila Lake. ==Access== Trophy Mountain Road turns east off Clearwater Valley Road (also called Wells Gray Park Road) north of the Yellowhead Highway. The gravel road is steep and rough, and usable by all vehicles except those with very low clearance. It is to the parking lot.〔 A well-used trail starts here and climbs through a band of trees to the alpine meadows. The leisurely hike of takes about 75 minutes to reach an abandoned shepherd's hut. During the last 30 minutes, there are views of the north face of Raft Mountain across Spahats Creek Valley to the south. This section of the meadows has colourful flower displays in late July and early August, as well as an earlier bloom of glacier lilies in late June. The trail continues past the hut for 30 minutes to the Sheila Lake Lookout. This viewpoint encompasses Sheila Lake to the north, Plateau of Lakes with numerous tarns to the northeast, and four of the nine Trophy summits beyond that. Raft Mountain and the spire of Dunn Peak are to the south.〔〔Goward, Trevor and Hickson, Cathie (1995). ''Nature Wells Gray'', 2nd edition. Lone Pine Publishing, Edmonton, AB.
