Adventure Tips
Prepare for variable trail conditions
Trails mix rocky singletrack and alpine meadows; sturdy footwear or a reliable mountain bike with good suspension is essential.
Hydrate and carry water treatment
Natural water sources are available but require treatment—carry a filter or purification tablets for safety.
Weather can change rapidly
Bring versatile clothing and rain gear; mountain weather in the South Chilcotins is unpredictable, even in summer.
Respect trail etiquette
Yield appropriately and communicate when passing, especially on narrow singletrack sections.
