Named after "Big Bill" Davidson, promoter, packer and larger than life character, who founded Minto City, where the Gun Creek Hydro Campground now sits. This trail was part of his route from Minto City to the various mines up the Gun Creek Valley. A fun, flow-y trail when ridden trending downhill, an easy climb going up. Look out for horses and moto's. Connects well with upper trails like Jonny"s Lookout , and Slim to None heading in the direction of Mowsons.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Traditionally Indigenous Territory
