Day hiking(Sept,14,Saturday) Slesse Memorial Trail

lulululu

Ld wants to watch the annual GG run this Sunday, so we are only able to do a day hike this weekend.

Trail Info:
http://www.clubtread.com/Routes/Route.aspx?Route=69

Trail distance：13+km round trip
Trail的拔高：940米

驾驶路线：

Follow Highway #1 (Trans-Canada Highway) to Chilliwack, taking Exit #119 South. Follow Vedder Road until a three-way stop just before a bridge over the Vedder River. Zero your odometer here and turn left at the stop sign onto Chilliwack Lake Road. After 29.5 km turn right onto Nesakwatch Creek Forest Service Road, located immediately after the Riverside Forest Service Campsite. Zero your odometer again here.

400 meters after turning onto the forest service road, turn right at the t-junction. Although it is officially decommissioned, the road can be followed for 2.5 km in most vehicles. 4x4s or vehicles with moderate clearance should be able to follow the road for a total of 5.3 km, eventually reaching the site of the old Slesse Memorial Trailhead. The road has rougher sections beyond this point.

Instead of attempting to follow the original overgrown trail and fording the creek, follow the road on foot another 800m to the new trailhead.

We might be able to ferry the last 5.3km  :roll:  :roll:

Road Conditions:

- The logging roads are in very good condition and easy to drive up
- Water bars are the only thing that would prevent a small car from making it up the road
- 4x4 vehicle is not required but a higher clearance vehicle is a must to get over the water bars; we parked 1 km from the trail head (drove up in a Honda CRV - scrapped over one or two water bars)

依着103 Hikes書上的指示, 從Chilliwack Lake Road往東行, 剛過Riverside Recreation Site便在右面轉入Chilliwack Nesakwatch Forest Service Road (圖左).


過了橋, 約400m轉右, 便看到這個路標. 用高底盤的四驅車可一直開到Slesse Memorial Trail的起點.

Trail Updates from CT:

http://www.clubtread.com/sforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=58009

- Walking/driving up the the trail head: just before the trail head the logging road forks. Take the right fork, not the one that heads up hill. Trail head is marked with two wooden signs and flagging tap.

- River/creek crossing: there are now "two" log bridges available to cross the creek. Both look like they have seen better days. Choose the bridge more up stream (left once the trail reaches the river/creek) we took this bridge on the way back and it was safer and easier to cross, also the river/creek is shallower under this bridge. Note do not use hand rails, they are loose and will not support much weight.

- Brush: a lot of the trail has high/dense bush along it. Not a problem on a sunny day but due to the rainfall on Friday we got soaked on the way up. Wear pants and a long sleeved shirt. The brush had dried by the time we headed down and we all made it to the car dry.

- Trail: trail is not marked with a lot of flagging tape or reflective squares but the foot bed is well worn and very easy to follow.

- Flagged trail near plaque: While we were taking a break at the plaque we notice a small flagged trail (on the left side of the plaque). After a bit of research done by one of the group members it is apparently a trail down into the bowl where a lot of plane debris can be viewed.

Sorry Lulu,

Just realized that I cannot go this week, because my daughter has a performance on Saturday and I will be the designated driver.

Next time, and thank you for arranging this,

William

现在已经是周五下午，另外我也不知道另一位司机住哪里，而且这次因要用四驱，每车都安排了五人(包括司机)，我自己的想法是体贴辛苦的司机，除非司机自己没有问题也愿意(既便这样的话，我个人觉得还是早些时间就联系好些)
