#Onthetrail Tuesday Featuring this open scene hike, Mesa to Barnes Lake campsite, also known as Three Meadows Trail! Join us in the small town of #AshcroftBC and take a hike on of the many beautiful trails here in Gold Country. With endless possibilities for adventure, you’ll never go wrong when you visit our great communities! From the Fire Hall #1, follow 97c south and drive 1.32 km until youreach Mesa Vista Dr. Turn left and drive 1.13 km along Mesa VistaDr. It should turn to gravel and you will cross a cattle guard which ismarked as a waypoint. Keep going up the road for a short distanceuntil you see the trail head on your right, which leads up the hill. The trail starts rather steep and can be tiring so make sure to have lots of water! About midway up the first steep hill, the trail splits, keep left and continue up the ridge to go to Barnes Lake.The first major climb ends at a plateau. This is a pasture area that you will cross. There is no obvious path here, head towards the fence on the south side of the field. Once you have crossed the pasture you will come to a barbed wire fence, follow it to the left and you will be taken up another uphill trail, now this trail will really get the muscles going! At this point you will have travelled 2.15 km, that’s quite the way! In all the trail takes around 2.5 hours to complete and is about 3.85 km long. #WildernessAwarenessWednesday #Trailingtuesday #GoldCountryBC #explorebc#supportlocal#staysafe#FirstResponseTourism #GConthetrailPhoto Credit: Brandy Cooper-Chardon ...

FIRST RESPONSE TOURISM:
Many major routes that have been previously affected by floods and mudslides in the area of the Interior have now been repaired. However, many routes are not fully restored and have alternating single lane traffic. Please plan your trip accordingly giving yourself enough time to allow for slower movement in these areas. Please be respectful of all personnel and equipment on the roads.
