Either as an access into the Park, or an exit, this trail works you both ways. Definitely less traveled, so expect blowdown and still be ready to give way to other trail users.

NOTE: At the request of Parks, please do not post times to the leader board for this or any Parks trail. Respect this wish and help ensure the experience of riding in the South Chilcotins will be available for years to come.
