More of a route than a trail. A Hike-a-bike with views. Expect some route finding. You are in a Provincial Park, so please, DO NOT freeride scree slopes and retain the right to visit again in years to come.

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.

      Just got back from here. Running well but as described it’s more of a route than a trail. We had trouble finding the trailfrom the last pass. Ended up traversing across until we find it. Looks like the downhill section starts above the pass. At least that’s what think after we did find the trail part way down.
