"
Chateau Rotary" A-branch, Powell River. There is a scattered collection of volunteer built/volunteer maintained cabins spread throughout the coastal mountain range behind Powell River. Most of them are connected by the somewhat famous "
Sunshine Coast Trail". A select few have road access directly to them (depending on snowpack)
Scenic viewpoint up a logging road called Cyprus Main (aptly named due to the abundance of yellow cedar a.k.a cyprus that grows above 2000ft elevation) taken on a group trip up Powell Lake (not to be confused with Lake Powell in Arizona)
Anderson Bay, Texada Island. The southernmost bay accessible on this island by road. Photo taken on my buddy's expensive camera
Sunset Wheelers group ride. Pictured below is Dodd Lake, one of the many dozens of lakes behind Powell river.
This spot is a great place to stop for lunch with a view.
Upper Theodosia valley below me with Olsen valley in the distance.
"
The High Road" as locals call it. On our way down to Anderson Bay. Off in the distance across the water is Madeira Park on the lower sunshine coast.
The last technical "squeeze" and/or
obstacle on the route into Theodosia Valley. Pictured here is a quick "out-of-the-window" shot of me going back out the trail after a full day exploring. It may not seem that bad but front driver is only half on the trail while the other half hangs over an 8ft deep hole excavated by a machine when this roadblock was build two years ago. There is only one way in/out of this expansive area. In the past there have been vandals who have damaged machinery and the local land owner has put up roadblocks such as this one to prevent access. I plan on building a second trail to access this area but it will be dependent on snow level and terrain challenges since my planned route will be up over a 3000ft mountain range.
