Buck Hills FSR

Trail Overview

Take a short drive out of Vernon on a scenic trail that ends at the Aberdeen Columns well known for climbing, but it's still worth the quick hike around the area. They are polygonal Basalt originating from volcanic activity and raise up to 22m from the ground. It's a very short hike to stunning views of the basalt columns and views of Silverstar Mountain Resort. The parking area is a designated Rec site camping is permitted. Fairly smooth FSR gives you another option to get out to the Nicklen Lake area. Some more great views in the cut-block areas, especially at sunset in the fall. The road is in pretty good shape and most SUVs will be fine. There are potholes and washboard areas but again, it's pretty tame.
