Alexander Creek
The run
Trail report
Located near Sparwood, this trail pushes deep into the mountains along Alexander Creek. It offers a great mix of old logging roads and tighter, more technical off-shoot trails.
Expect some pin-striping from overgrown brush in the summer and a few rocky ledges that demand careful tire placement.
The trail eventually opens up into an alpine basin with fantastic dispersed camping opportunities and immediate access to hiking routes.
Know before you go
- Overgrown brush (pin-striping)
- Off-camber sections
- Sudden weather changes
