Trail Overview
The route begins at the 3400' elevation of Nine Mile Rd and ends at the 5400' elevation of First Cr. Rd. The route passes over Nine Mile Cr. and makes its way through some private property, but mostly forest land. The route is mostly made up of dirt and gravel with many curves and embankments. The route is mostly two lanes but in the higher elevations, there is only room for one vehicle with no room to pass. The route is dotted with many places for a lunch or beverage break with some awesome scenery in the higher elevations. For picture taking this is a scenic route with the mountains that eventually come into view from the north. The route is most likely the quickest way over to Lozeau from Nine Mile Rd.
