I did this route at the beginning of August. I hiked Toboggan Creek Rd for about 13 and half km and went down the valley towards the lake where a gate used to be. Toboggan Creek road continues straight and heads left up the mountain. Following drainages after you come off the trail you should hit the south side of Upper Silvern Lake where a trail is. There is one nice camping spot here with a little fire pit. Continue going west along the trail (there may be some flag) and in about 10 minutes you will hit the lower silvern lake. This is where I stayed the night. The next day follow the Silvern Lake trail which heads to the other side of the mountain. This trail is about 8.5 km to the trailhead. Make sure to have someone pick you up on the other side for its about a 30km trek back to Smithers! (or you can hitchhike but I don't recommend it. I walked about 6 km before a truck came.)
Enjoy the hike it really is a good one.
