GPS Notes
We have often color-coded our GPX tracks. While it is not always the case, we have tried to use the following convention on our newer maps:

Green/Blue: human-verified by our volunteers.
Purple: overgrown trail, bushwhack, or on private property.
Red: default color or not reality-checked
Yellow: Road
Other Colors: May have been satellite traced or imported from third party sources.

While we strongly believe our GPS are accurate, please be aware that no logging system is perfect and to be aware of potential errors. Use at your own risk.

    The directions did not include that you must turn left onto Turnbull first before turning left onto Emerald. Other than that, solid hike with lots of different paths to take.

    This is not a hike worth going on: the views are uninspiring compared to many nearby hikes, the trails are better for 4X4ing, and the mosquitoes are hungry. Worst hike I've done in a decade of BC hiking.
