Given that the Callaghan main line will be > plowed to Alexander > Falls, a footbridge will be built across the Callaghan Creek at > approximately the seven > kilometre mark on the Callaghan main line to allow snowmobile traffic > to access the network > of logging roads on the west side of the Callaghan Valley and to link > up with the Round-the- > World trail through the Brandywine Valley. The footbridge will permit > snowmobilers to > complete the Round-the-World trail from the staging area to be > established at Alexander > Falls. > The following facilities or services will be required in the Callaghan > Valley: > � Parking facilities at Alexander Falls that provides separation of > motorized and > non-motorized visitors. A smaller parking lot will be maintained just > off the > highway to permit non-motorized access to Mt. Sproatt via the logging > road that > branches off the Callaghan main line less than � km off Highway 99. > � Day lodge at or near Alexander Falls. > � Snowmobile facilities/services at Alexander Falls: Staging area, > rental services, > sled school, repair and maintenance facilities, storage facilities, > grooming > services, trail improvements on the west side of Callaghan Valley to > link the > Round-the-World trail and to accommodate the increased traffic to > Brandywine > once the footbridge is in place, and management of terrain traps such > as the > Gauntlet in the Brandywine Valley and 104t Street above Callaghan Lake.
