Trail Overview

As per the name, the first part of the trail is a series of switchbacks as you climb up the side of Mount Bross. As you reach the upper part the road turns into a shelf road. This trail is a great companion route to the Dolly Varden trail. Go up one trail and go down the other. This route is also good to do early in the season to get around the snow drift on the other trail.
