Trail Overview

Route follows active logging FSR Stirling Creek south of highway 3 and turns off onto Old Joe spur road at approximately the 19.5 km mark. The route continues through a section of the west side of Lower Similkameen Indian Band (LSIB) Ashnola IR before winding back northwest and ending at a decommissioned tower of 2000 meters. The views at the top are spectacular for 360 degrees. The section passing through LSIB Ashnola IR is posted with information signs, but access was not restricted when the route was mapped. Expect to see ranging cows and feral horses throughout the area.
