Tumbler Ridge Summer ‘21

[zal]

Had a great day today. We saw Quantum Falls/Goat Ridge, then did the loop to the Quality Lake trail. Cleared trails on the way so everyone can enjoy em.
Nice thing about TR Is that they have a very active ATV club.
Today we saw 1 elk, 2 bears, 5 mountain goat including a baby and one ruffed grouse. Pretty damn good day today!

It's always nice to see wildlife and get nice pictures

We went out yesterday on the Wong Way trail. Was a great trail, but not much to see.
Still too much snow in the hills, so hopefully next couple weeks we can venture out further.

I would love to quad into lower blue Lake as far as I'm legally allowed to go on quad and catch a nice big dolly right in Aug when your allowed to keep one

A trip to Red Deer Falls.

Our trip yesterday was a trip to Hole in the Wall. It’s a pretty cool sight to see.
We put on 130 km and apparently rode passed the start of a wildfire that was started by lightning the night before. With the lay of the land and wind, we didn’t see a thing.

What is the hole in the wall? Is that the start of the creek? Or the creek disappears into it?

Never mind. I was able to zoom in on the picture of the sign.
That is pretty cool

It’s a lot of water that’s flowing out of the rock and pours into the Sukunka River. It’s a really cool place. The picture after the sign shows how much water is flowing out of the rock. Behind the Mrs. you can see the main road

Hahaha, that’s why I took the pic of the sign. It’s more detailed than what I can write.

Yesterday we rode to what they call “The Tunnels”. These tunnels were built to rail the coal out of Tumbler Ridge.
Here is a pretty great video on the construction.

Total km where we parked, 180 km return. It took us 9 hours with very little stopping. It’s an all day ride.
On a side note, very dry out there. Can see why they have campfire bans going on.
