Gardner Trail

Back Country Trail
The Gardner trail is located just past the 12 km marker on the Tulameen FS road. The road is well-marked with kilometer markers as you travel. At about 12.6 or 12.7 km you will see some old corrals on your right. There is lots of parking and easy turn-around for horse trailers. The trail starts on the hillside just above the corrals. It is somewhat steep for a short distance, then levels out and has very few steep sections. It is an easy ride for fit horses. In Aug 2004 the trail was in good shape, only a few windfalls, but quads had made it difficult to follow. Most years water is plentiful, but in 2004 many of the smaller streams had dried up. About 2 hours up the trail you will come to a burned down cabin. This is a good camping place if you plan an overnight, there are more good places up the trail from here. From here the area opens up and in an hour you are at the summit. There is a small lake at the summit and another, larger one just before. Have a good ride!

most people now access the Gardner trail from the RSTBC Snowmobile and ATV Staging area near 10k, Take the old skidder road up the hill. As of August 21, 2022 the trail is only cleared about 1/2 way.

Gardner Trail corrals posted on: 06 / 04 / 2018

the old corrals are pretty well non existent anymore. Only a post or two still standing. Look for the wide turnout on the left where 2 old skidders trails exit the main road. Across the road in the small green space is where the corral used to be and the trail heads up the hill behind it. Usually doesn't get cleared of windfall until August.
