Before I left for my first trip in the Chilcotin, I was told about this old route by my father. We tried to map it out, but sure enough there was no road on the map book. Surprisingly there was not even a trail listed on the map. Throughout my travels in the area, I was asking folks if they had ever heard of, or traveler the old route, and I was able to find three locals that knew of the route. As always, I was met with some skepticism as to weather or not the route would accommodate a larger rig like mine, but in the end it was one of the easiest and most beautiful route of the season. The trip all the way around, on the normal road, is just shy of 200 km. But as the crow flies it is less than 60 km between the two locations. This road is the most direct route, but due to conditions it would probably be faster to go around. Without being held to a timeline, the forgotten road is by far a more enjoyable route. The scenery is amazing, the history is interesting and the road is passable by almost any 4x4 vehicle.
All in all, I think it was the perfect way to end my time in the Chilcotin, and I hope you have all enjoyed the area and the adventures as well.
