Land OwnerRecreation Sites and Trails BC
Update for 2025 - as is well known from the reports last year, the trail has 4 major debris flows across the trail, rendering it impassable and unsafe with debris and danger trees. The trail has been closed by Rec Sites and Trails BC. If you're planning to ride in or visit Terrace in 2025, Packworse unfortunately won't be a part of your trip.
Singletrack downhill trail bench cut down the mountain. This is the most popular trail on Copper and is the easiest run on the mountain. It winds down and crosses several small drainages. There are small natural rock jumps and a few natural side-hits throughout the trail. No mandatory ttfs, only wood bridges that are all solid. You can see remnants of an old log bridge off in the forest near the bottom. Watch out for hikers as this trail is often used to access the Thornhill Mtn trail.
