Park your vehicle in a small turnout at the big bend at 10.5 km on the Whitewater Ski Area road. FInd the logging road that heads down to Apex creek in an upstream direction. After two hundred meters take the left or downhill road and cross the creek. As the road turns right and into an thinly treed meadow it becomes quite hard to find the trail. The road is easier to find as it flattens out inside the denser trees on the right. When the road crosses the creek again leave the road and follow the creek directly up through Hummingbird Pass. To access Evening Ridge continue all the way through the pass, just before descending, traverse back left, quickly ascending through open trees to gain the ridge above the Pass. Continue up the ridge as far as you desire, with beautiful views of Ymir Peak and the Kokanne Group. The descent route is either down the ascent route, or down various lines on the East face. There are several major avalanche slopes and very steep avalanche prone slopes on this face, and require skill and very good stability assessment.
