Canada's bikepacking hotspot, ridden in a long weekend: a 121 km loop linking the South Chilcotins' most rideable singletrack through mid-elevation meadows, dry forest, and open alpine under high peaks. It is all unpaved, mostly trail, and genuinely remote, with no resupply or cell service, so arrive self-sufficient. Strong fitness and mountain bike skills turn it from an ordeal into the highlight of your year. Wildflowers peak in June and July.
