Kanaskat-Kangley Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

You'll be really glad you took this minimal detour. Very smooth and easy. The huge watershed area is to the east, it's like 'Area 51' in there, you can't go. To the left you get a great view of Sugarloaf Mountain, it's one of those pyramid peaks that makes you want to hike to the top!

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Once you've finished grinding up and out of Black Diamond you get a quiet smooth, fast and peaceful segment like this. No trespassing signs right and left. A lot of power lining going on there. Trace them on Google earth, and they come all the way from Grand Coulee.
