Description

This 3-day, 2-night fastpack route offers runners and hikers an opportunity to experience some of the best singletrack trails in the Southern Chilcotins.

Beginning on the Paradise Creek Trail, the route climbs into the alpine before dropping down to Bear Paw Camp (pre-book for accommodation and food necessary).

Day 2 takes runners up and over the incredible Deer Pass (well-worth the effort of the big climb) before descending back down to the pristine lakes of Trigger and Butterfly.

The final part of this day is a long, mostly gradual climb back up to Spruce Lake. Options to camp or pre-book a supported option exist. Day 3's route trends mostly downhill as a very well-maintained trail leads from Spruce Lake down to the Jewel Creek Trailhead or beyond to the Gun Creek Trailhead.
