FYI:
Salal Creek Trail:
Athelney Pass down to left, looking south down Salal Creek
Markings: Flagged route, with faintly beaten path
Access To: Athelney Pass, Icemaker, Ochre Peak, Mt. Guthrum
How To Find: Trail goes from upper Lillooet logging roads to Athelney Pass. It is 14 km and 800 m. elevation gain from the end of the road. At a moderate pace, it will take about 6 hours to reach the pass.
Km 0 - UTM 680 130 - Start : From Upper Lillooet Main. At the top of the climb above the Lillooet River, UTM 675 135, turn off the Upper Lillooet mainline onto the spur road to the north. There is no signage for the road. From here, the road continues for 6.5 km. Keep on main ignoring initial spurs. At 5.9km, go right to road's end. As of September 2005, the road is 2WD high clearance with active logging and road building.
Km 6.5 UTM ? - End of Road: From the current end of the road (September 4, 2005), bear 340 degrees. The trail heads north and is between the flagged road boundaries. Follow pink flagging on a pleasant faint trail to the creek, about 1km. At an alder-choked stream crossing, UTM 666 190, the route breaks out onto the gravel flats beside Salal Creek. Go north on creek bed another 1km. Where it rounds a corner, look for two small flagged trees on the embankment and climb the gravel bank. Follow flagged route through the trees. Route goes north and rejoins the main fork mostly on gravel flats. In a canyon section, watch for spectacular views of the north face of Plinth Peak to the south. Just south of the canyon, an unmarked steep and heavy bushwack may be needed if water levels are high. Just north past the canyon, there is a flagged detour (if water is high) into the woods marked with two closely spaced large cairns on the east side of the creek. After the flagged detour north of the canyon, the trail follows a flagged route through scrubby alpine growth to a small campsite (large cairn) above the confluence with the north fork of Salal Creek.
The last 7km. to Athelney Pass follows the creek through open country east, then north. Follow the flagging where it climbs off the gravel flats for easier walking through the last few trees. 1 km. of old alpine trail cleared through the rocks leads toward a prominent moraine. Just beyond a couple of new bridges over sidestreams, and between the trail and the creek, lies the shambles of a small mining exploration camp UTM 710 221, built and abandoned in Oct. 1996. Follow the crest of the moraine past a lake and on up to the final turn north into Athelney Pass. The cabin at Athelney Pass UTM 740 248 is on the west side of the creek.
History: Trail construction was organized by Steve Grant, Jayne Hardy and assisted by large BCMC party. Summer 1996. |
