Just want to throw in my $0.02.... We went to ride this trail, mostly (but not entirely) due to this article. My observations: -Fun, but short (as in quick top to bottom). -Loooong trip to get there (like, really long). -If you are in the area, it's worthwhile, but only if you have the time to do several laps. -Very dusty, narrow, and softer and steeper than it looks in the video. -Scenery is spectacular (lots of wildlife. This means BEARS). -Shuttle road was passable by my Impreza (and a lot smoother than the pick-up). -to settle the argument, this trail is WAY more accessible from Lillooet than Lytton. We did the loop, and it took us twice as long to do the southern half as the northern. You would be lucky (or crazy) to get out of 2nd gear on the southern half of the road. -Make sure your brakes are strong, they will get forest-fire-starting hot on the descent (before you flame me - Yes, even you speed demons). I wouldn't make another special trip from Whistler for this trail anytime soon (it is REEEEE-mote), as the forest firebreak has mangled a fair portion of the middle of the trail, robbing the section of it's soul. The potential here is immense though, and I expect great things in the future. You may agree with me, you may not. Just throwing an opinion out there. Kudos to the gents keeping this one alive though...keep up the good work!
