Whipsaw, BC, CAN

[boehml]

A friend and I headed up to a well known trail, by the name of Whipsaw for the BC Day long weekend. It's a 80km (50mi) trail located in the interior of the province, between two gold mining towns. We ended up traveling just over 142km (88mi) of trail connecting to Murphy Lakes before heading back to the coast.

We didn't get many photos, but here are some of my favorites.

Is that right? Maybe we can connect, I would run this trail again.

On the trail I had two groups come south towards us and only ran into one group going north in front of us.

Camping wise, there was well over five groups off the trail enjoying the scenery.

We are heading to Whipsaw in two weeks... How were the trails this year? I heard the rain has made them a lot tougher?

Nothing has been severely affected. I was able to complete every obstacle on 35" tires with a 2.5" lift and no lockers were needed with proper driving. The trail was in good condition, any dead fall was cleared about 2 months ago. I'm looking forward to getting back there next August.

I've included the downloadable tracks for this too. The optional Murphy Lakes route, out of Tulameen takes you back to Highway 5.

A group run would be great. I'm driving an Xterra, she looks kinda like this (or cleaner or dirtier)
