This route is designed to take in all sanctioned trails currently mapped on trail forks for Mount Tzouhalem. It does not include the lower firehall trails or any other non sanctioned trails. There are only a couple of small connectors and logging roads missing. Be prepared for an 8 hour + day or less if you chose an e-bike. This requires a high level of fitness and the right kind of nutrition and hydration. There are some hike a bike sections on D road but for the most part it is all rideable.

Please enjoy the challenge.
