Crosscut is part of the trail system that takes one from the bottom back up to the starting point of the coutlee plateau trail system.

Access Info

When you come out of Sanchez, Crosscut is approximately 100m up the road and takes off to the left. About 20m in, just after a little ravine you will see the old crosscut saw mounted on the side of the trail.
