Lulu,
1. Pls post the driving directions to the trailhead.
Route description 1
Road
All distances are from highway 99.
+0.0km: Turn off highway 99 onto Chance Creek FSR about 1km south of the Garibaldi Lake road. This turnoff is near a pair of large yellow gates on the highway. Cross the cheakamus river and the railway tracks, then head left up a hill.
+1.7km: At the base area for the cat skiing operation is a big switchback, go left. The road is plowed to this point mid winter, so start skiing here if it's snowed in beyond this point
+2.3km minor spur on the right goes to freeman lake
+2.6km minor spure on the right goes to ????
+3.0km Roe Creek FSR / Chance Creek FSR Junction. Take the right fork. There are a new set of km markers for this road that start at the junction.
+3.1km minor spur road on right
+3.5km minor spurs on both sides. The one on the right has a yellow gate.
+3.6km branch road on the left. Keep right up the hill.
+4.0km minor spur road to the right. Keep on straight ahead.
+4.5km branch road on the left. keep right.
+5.2km minor spure road on the right.
+5.7km Take the lower right fork.
+6.0km Bridge over Roe Creek
+6.1km Take the left fork up roe creek. The right fork is R-100 and it ends after only 0.5km.
+6.7km continue straight through a muddy log sort
+6.9km big water bar than marks the end of 2wd and a good place to park. 4x4HC vehicle can continue, as the road gets gnarly and a bit bushy above here.
+8.4km take the branch on the right (R-200). Follow this one steeply uphill to the trailhead, which is just above the first switchback, about 1km up R-200 at 1030m elevation.
+9.3km Switchback
+9.4km The trailhead is on the right hand side an is marked with yellow flagging tape. It is about 3.6km to Brew Lake and 5.6km to the microbrew from here.
Trail
The flagged route traverses right through the clearcut and into the forest, crossing a small creek and then ascending to the bottom of an open bowl with a bluff on the left side.
Climb up the bottom of the bowl, keeping to the left of center. There are no trees to flag for this section, so there are no flags. Just follow the line of least resistance for 200m or so.
At the top of the bowl, the flagged route crosses a tiny lake and heads north traversing the bottom of 2 more sets of bluffs.
Beyond the third bluff is a flat section that crosses below a talus slope.
Past the talus slope, the trail goes up a draw and then climbs steeply up the forest to the left followed by a traverse to reach the start of a meadow system south of Brew Lake.
Follow the meadows to Brew Lake.
Route description 2
The start of the road is about 1km south of the rubble creek bridge on highway 99. It's the only road with a bridge over the cheakamus river. There are a lot of branches, here's what I can remember from the 2 times I've been up there (mileages are estimates):
1. cross the bridge, the tracks and turn left, and follow the road up a hill. This part is called Chance Creek FSR
2. at 1.5km is the base area for the cat skiing operation at a switchback, go left.
3. Pass a couple of minor spurs on the right. I don't think they go anywhere really. There is a major junction at about 3km, this is the start of Roe Creek FSR. Take the right fork. All distances beyond this point are measure from here and there are a new set of km markers for this road that start at this junction.
4. +0.3km A minor branch off roe creek goes, right, ignore it. This was blocked by a fallen log on feb 6th.
5. +0.5km A more serious branch road goes left. Go right (up a hill?). Stay right from here until the bridge over roe creek at about km 3.
6. just past the bridge turn left. The right fork is R-100 and it ends after only 0.5km.
7. continue straight through a muddy log sort
8. At 3.8km or so is the end of 2wd and a good place to park. 4x4HC begins if it isn't too snowed in to drive. The road get pretty gnarly and bushy above here, and there isn't a good place to turn around for another 1.5km.
9. At km 5.3 is a branch on the right (R-200). Follow this one steeply uphill to the trailhead, which is just above the first switchback, about 1km up R-200.

[br]I was up there in September working on the trail and doing some painting at the hut. The R200 branch road (the one that gives access to the winter trail from Roe Creek) has been reactivated, so there are no water bars or cross ditches to contend with. The trail is in good shape, however it will be pretty bushy going through the clearcut if there isn't enough snow to hold the blueberry bushes down. |
