Proposed Harrison Hut Trail Work
Organizers
Organized by: Ben Singleton-Polster and Christian Veenstra at present but others are welcome to help out if they are really keen.
Future work
1. Investigate future trail options as shown on this google map
- Orange lines are existing roads
- Green lines need exploration
- Blue lines have already been explored and are known to be passable by fit and experienced parties.
2. Trail application
3. Trail construction
4. Road work
- Work can be done to remove some rocks near the rock fall to widen the road.
- Additional work can be done to the creek crossing to make it drivable in summer with high clearance 4wd
June 18-19 Reconnaissance
A weekend was spent looking into the general areas shown on this PDF.
The plan was to investigate the possible trail locations to determine the best route along the south side. It appears that the best route to the Lillooet and Meager junction is across the debris flow gravel bars.

They are not planning on rebuilding the road on the north side however are thinking of something on the south side. The options are expensive and timber prices are low so they have no immediate plans. He said it would probably 5-6 years before any real thought of putting in a road so we are free to go for it. Apparently, Inergex who are proposing a hydro project are looking for ways to increase their public image and would possibly fund the trail. We might say that hiking below power lines is not fun but none the less it is worth noting that they were successful in the power call and the lines would run nearby.
