The Trans Canada Trail provides the main access to the trails on Mount Conkle, but many users are confused because the TCT through this section actually has two parallel tracks. The lower (further north) one is the actual Trans Canada Trail and gets maintained as such (with the packed gravel surface and signs). The Upper TCT is old two-track like the lower one, but without the gravel and signs. Adding to the confusion is that there are several points where the trails are so close together that there are little shortcuts connecting them. Most of the trails only connect to the Upper TCT, so if users are on the main Trans Canada, they never find the access points -- I've created this track to try to help.
Originally on Trail Forks, this was listed as part of Full Frontal and Conkle Bonk -- it is part of neither -- those trails start/end on the Upper TCT.
