Itinerary description

30 kms from the town of Likely up the Keithly Creek Road. Well marked parking with two out houses. Room for boon-docking , lots of bugs including horse flies, small flies and mosquitoes. The ride was fun, we rode late August and the wild flowers had finishes blooming. Trails are well marked with lots of shale. The trail we took was the Hampton trail The map shows some great way points one of a an old miners cabins, the miner had built some retaining walls that are still there. The turn around point is at an old gold mine. You can go and look in the old mine shaft. There are lots of signs asking you to stay on the trail and not disturb the alpine. Please obey all signs
