Trail Overview

Exiting off the Douglas Clear Cut Bypass heading west, this track takes you into a gully that descends into a shelf road leading to the Douglas Hydro line. This is a bypass, as well as the hydro line is too steep for most riders and vehicles to descend, and nearly impossible to ascend eastward. The trail eventually ends in a clearing at the end of a field across from Johnny's Gas Bar. You can exit onto Highway 105 from there.
