DAY 1 of 3 

Our guides meet you at Tyax Resort and take you on some of the best local singletrack located near Tyax Resort. The route is mostly downhill with a few short climbs and some spectacular views over the Bridge River Valley. This area boasts some of the best wildflowers in Canada, so have your cameras ready. These tight trails with their fast and sandy descents are sure to test your bike handling skills. By the time you finish, you will have lost about 3,000 vertical feet. At the end of the trail, you will have a short drive back to Tyax Resort for the evening.

Distance:  10-15 km / 6-10 miles

Length of Ride:  3-4 hours

DAY 2 of 3

You’ll be bragging to your friend’s back home about today’s ride! This tour departs by floatplane from the resort, and flies you into Spruce or Warner Lake (depending on group’s ability and weather conditions). The early morning light is likely to enhance the intense beauty of the mountains. Keep your eyes open for mountain goats perched high on the ridge tops as you look down at the stunning terrain, along which you will soon be riding. You will follow 25-40 kms of superb singletrack flanked by alpine lakes, clear running mountain streams and wildflowers. The rolling trails through Spruce Lake Provincial Park will bring you down to an elevation of 2,200 feet. After gathering to share all of your "trail stories," you’ll return to the resort for a well-earned dinner.

Distance: 25-40 km / 16-25 miles
Length of Ride:  5-8 hours

DAY 3 of 3

It's time to climb! After two days of gravity fun, get ready to test your lungs and legs. Starting with a truck shuttle up to 5,000 ft, our destination on this ride is High Pass at 7,500 ft. This high alpine route will lead you through some historic mining areas and colourful mineral rich mountains. Perhaps the intoxicating alpine views will be a distraction from your churning pedal strokes. A short hike to gain the pass will have the entire Bridge River Valley and spectacular flower-filled alpine meadows spread out below you. This is a prime grizzly bear viewing site. Laid out below you is 4,000 ft of prime Chilcotin trail, leading you to the back door of Tyax Resort.

Distance:  15-30 km / 9-18 miles

Length of Ride:  5-8 hours
