- Reviewers praise the sweeping mountain and nature views.
This trail is a good trail for me, it has a good atmosphere and a great beautiful view of the great nature of the British Columbia state … but I do not prefer you visiting this trail between late October and to July because between those…
After finishing the BCMC trail why not tack on another 5kms. Some rough terrain leads to some great views. Mt. Dam
