Upper Frenchy Loop

Upper Frenchy Loop is mostly large rip rap or loose rock with a steep grade towards the end. This road was just cleared and opened by locals. The larger rock and typically wet weather make this a more technical trail. High clearance vehicles are recommended. This begins at Frenchy Spur Road and ends at Frenchy 6208, although locals who cleared the road consider the trail an extension of Frenchy Spur Road and call it Upper Frenchy Loop. There are a couple of spur roads connecting to this trail. There is a lot of wildlife in this area. Be safety-minded as there are Brown Bear, Black Bear, Deer, and Porcupines in this area. Weather plays a part in the level of difficulty, as this is in a rainforest, and a lot of these roads go through areas of muskeg and wetlands. There are sections of loose rock, and parts of the road have drop-offs where there is a gain in elevation towards the end. There are great views of the forest with tall, large Skunk Cabbage and Devils Club, tall grass, ferns, a variety of trees, lichens, and moss can be seen along the road. Views: Scenic landscapes. There is one possible in-vehicle dry camping spot on this road. It is not advisable to bring trailers on this road due to the narrow roads and no turnarounds. One spot on the trail is very tight at a small water crossing. Warnings: Keep on the road. Watch for signs of road deterioration, washouts, and fallen trees due to heavy rainfall and mudslides. Be mindful of wildlife, especially Bears. No cell service noted. Check weather conditions and be prepared for rain, fog with low visibility, and lower temperatures. It is a rainforest.
