About

This is an historic route important to the Secwépemc communities that became an access route to the Big Bend Goldrush, sheep herders, foresters, and, more recently, recreational enthusiasts. Managed in the winter by the Crowfoot Snowmobile Club under authorization of Recreation Sites and Trails BC, the route leads to the rolling sub-alpine meadows on Crowfoot and Mobley Mountains. In the summer it makes an outstanding hike or mountain bike to views of the surrounding Shuswap highlands, glacier carved valleys, wildlife, birds, and wildflowers. Protect the delicate flora and fauna of this area by staying on established tracks. This area is a popular ATV destination in the summer.


Access

: 2 km east of Celista on Squilax-Anglemont Rd, turn north onto Beguelin Rd. Turn right at the stop sign at the end of Beguelin Rd onto Line 17, then take the next left onto Garland Rd. Proceed 2.6 km until Garland Rd becomes 730 FSR at the first turn and set odometre to zero. Watch for logging trucks. Follow the main road for approx. 1.7 km, then take the right fork. At 2.2 km cross a bridge and continue up the hill staying on the main road for another 8 km climbing high above the lake until a “Deactivated Road” sign signals the junction with the 4WD Sheep Track at 11 km. Park here for a walk up to the meadows and back (11+ km return), or a cross-country mountain bike ride up to Mobley Lookout and back (approx. 20 km return).
