DAY 1 of 5 

Meet at the Whistler floatplane dock at 1:00 in the afternoon. After loading up the plane, you will enjoy a fabulous 35 minute flight to Tyax Resort, located on the shores of Tyaughton Lake in the Southern Chilcotin Mountains. After checking into your lakeveiw room and meeting with your guide, we will head out for some of the best local singletrack near the 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 the Canada, so have your cameras ready. These tight trails with their fast and sandy descents are sure to test your bike handling skills.

Distance:  10-15 km / 6-10 miles

Length of Ride:  2-3 hours

DAY 2 of 5

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. 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:  40+ km / 25+ miles
Length of Ride:  5-9 hours

DAY 3 of 5

It's time to climb! After two days of gravity fun, get ready to test those lungs and legs. Starting at 5,000 ft, our destination is High Pass at 7,500 ft. This high alpine route will lead us through some historic mining areas. Gold fever struck this mountain region in 1858 and eventually the famed Pioneer and Bralorne mines began production. These two mines remained open until the late 1960s and were the most productive gold mines in the history of British Colombia. Perhaps the intoxicating alpine views will be a distraction from your churning pedal strokes. And, we may be lucky enough to see (from a distance!) a grizzly bear grazing in the meadow as we descend down to 3,300 ft. returning back to the Resort for a well deserved refreashmen

Distance:  15-30 km / 9-18 miles

Length of Ride:  5-8 hours

DAY 4 of 5

 After a once again delicious breakfast,  we will choose from selection of rides within the area - perhaps a visit to the rolling trails around Gun Lake or the lush meadows flanking Lone Valley. Upon our retun to the resort enjoy the other activities available like a canoe in the clear waters of Tyaughton Lake. 

DAY 5 of 5

Today another ride on the great single track near the resort awaits.  We will check out before 11:00 and then load up the plane for the flight back to Whistler at 12:00.
