Club Ride – GRST NORTH – THE BLUFF RIDE

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND: ADVENTURE NORTH OF LAC LA HACHE!

Get ready for our next autumn exploration on the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail (GRST). Thanks to the extra hour of sleep from Daylight Saving Time ending, we’ll be starting our ride rested and ready to go!

The Details

• Date: Sunday, November 2nd
• Start Time: 9:30 AM Standard time, boots up and ready to ride
• Starting Point: Butler Road GRST Trailhead at the north end of Lac la Hache.
• The Route: We will be heading north toward the Spout Lake area, with the destination being a spectacular Bluff overlooking 2 Mile Lake for our lunch stop. The ride is an out-and-back journey, returning along the same route to the starting trailhead.

The Challenge & Reward

This section of the GRST is a little less refined than the trail we rode last Sunday, promising a more authentic off-road experience.

• Terrain: Expect a challenging and fun ride with a dynamic mix of terrain.
• Gearing Up: We anticipate needing to use four-wheel drive on a hill or two! Be ready to engage it and test your machine’s capabilities.
• The View: The reward is the fantastic Bluff overlooking 2 Mile Lake, which will be the perfect spot to stop and enjoy our lunch with a stunning autumn view.

Essential Prep

The late-fall temperatures are definitely here, so preparation is key for comfort and safety:

• Fuel: Full tank of fuel is mandatory—there are no gas stops on this route.
• Lunch: Bring a packed lunch and, importantly, something warm (hot beverage or food) to fight the chill.
• Clothing: Dress for the weather! Layers, insulated boots, and waterproof outer gear are highly recommended, as there is always a chance of rain or snow at this time of year.

Let’s enjoy the more rugged side of the GRST! See you all at the Butler Road Trailhead!
