With borders opening up soonish (we hope), any of you wanting to wheel in British Columbia should check out......
1. The Whipsaw FSR trail. It's located 15km west of Princeton, BC. 100km loop trail through some very nice areas, high alpine meadows and forest. It's not overly hard, but has some challenging spots. I put some markers on the BN App map section.
2. Hurley Pass/Poison Mountain/China Head Traverse/High Bar Road. This trip is a few different trails linked together, it starts at Pemberton, BC and finishes at Clinton, BC. It's long, so carrying extra gas is recommended. Not a hard trip, and it has a reactionary ferry trip over the Fraser River included (free ferry). Amazing views from the top of Poison Mountain.
It can be a challenge to find the right trail to get on the China Head Traverse (take maps with you), so an alternate way out is the Yalakom Valley which is shorter and takes you down to Lillooet, BC.
3. Alexander Mackenzie Heritage/Greese Trail. A 400km trail from Prince George to Bella Coola, takes you from the center of the Province to the Pacific Coast. It's a challenging demanding trail, river crossings, boggy areas and a ton of fallen trees. Take extra fuel, at least two vehicles and chainsaws (lots of 2 stroke gas). Oh, and don't forget the bug spray.
