Rice Trail

Day Ride Trail
Ernest Rice and Les Fripp used the trail to access their mineral claims in the Mount Outram area from 1922- 1939. The trail begins in a multi-aged forest of spruce, fir and pine. It continues along a very well marked forested trail down to Podunk Creek. There is a bridgecrossing the creek. The trail continies south up an ATV trail until it crosses the main road. Follow the old logging road up the othere side of the road and watch for a ribboned trail to the left. It is quite bushy for the next 200 meters then it follows along the west edge of a cutblock. It climbs from this point up about 500 meters to swampy meadows littered with little ponds. there are vast varieties of mosses and lichens covering the many rocky outcrops. Early summer would have a great showing of pink mountain heather and other sub-alpine flowers. The grassy meadows are home to the occasional grizzly bear. The area is well used by horsemen and therefore well maintained. The trail has historic significance. Palmer's Pond is on the Hudson's Bay Brigade Trail about 1 1/2 hr west of Jacobsen Lake. The point where the HBC trail crosses the Tulameen FS road is marked with a sign about 1 km past Jacobsen Lake. From this point you can ride the trail in either direction. East takes you down along Podunk creek, west climbs up past Palmer's Pond (6100' elev) and through an unnamed alpine pass to Camp du Chevreuil then down to the Sowaqua creek drainage.
