Trail Overview

Take this quick loop for incredible views of the surrounding Upsalquitch Crown Reserve lands. The entirety of this trail is a winding, single-vehicle-wide dirt road with gentle hills. 2WD vehicles should have no trouble on this loop, although there are a few sections where the undercarriage of lower-clearance vehicles may graze against overgrown grasses and shrubs. Views along the ridge are elevated during the fall months when the wild blueberry fields transition to red and the aspens turn a vibrant yellow among the evergreens. NOTE: It is advised to wear hi-vis or orange clothing during hunting seasons (check NB Fish and Wildlife for specific dates).
