The Harper Mountain Trail Network

Pineview Valley trails closed

It has been a great year for the Pineview Valley trails with great trail conditions and some exciting new upgrades.
Use of these trails is made possible through a collaborative agreement with the private land owners and ranchers.
As part of that agreement, trails are subject to a seasonal closure due to ranching activities and fire mitigation work in the trail network. With that in mind, parking lots and trails will be closed for the season effective December 1st.
See you all next spring

Ward's Ferry Trail

Ward's Ferry Trail closed

We are going to close the Ward's Ferry Trail until the broken walkway can be repaired. The structure isn't safe to cross right now. Thank you Doug Clark for posting the signs up.
This structure will be challenging to access for repairs but hopefully we can obtain funding to repair this walkway next summer.

I'm sure you all heard the news that opening day at Revelstoke Mountain Resort is delayed. Well, for us, that just means more time to ride bikes! No snow, no problem. We'll just keep enjoying brown pow instead.

Betty’s Bridge improvements

A massive thank you to all the volunteers who braved the weather and came out on today’s Hammerfest dig day!
Around 20 hard-working folks showed up to give the iconic Betty’s Bridge a well-needed overhaul, and do some tuning up on the Link. Take a look next time you’re on the trails and let us know what you think.
Thanks also to @coyotes.coffee for caffeinating our crew and helping us get moving on a cold and drizzly morning!
