This is a 2 day ride. It\''s about 530 km long and 90% dirt. You depart from Harrison Hot Springs and ride north on the East Harrison FSR to the Big Silver Creek FSR. Follow Big Silver to Kookipi and Follow Kookipi to Nahatlatch then to Keefers. North on Keefers FSR to Lytton where you have the option of crossing the Fraser on the reaction ferry so you can gas up and get a bite to eat in Lytton. Return on the reaction ferry and continue north on the Texas Creek FSR to Lillooet. Head north from Lillooet and head for Seton Portage. From Seton Portage head west on the high line road to D\''Arcy and then to Mt Currie. From Mt Currie head east on the hwy to Duffy Lake and turn south on the In-Shuck-Cr FSR. Continue south to Port Douglas then cross the river to the West Harrison FSR and south to the Sasquatch Inn where you can get a much deserved cold beer. This is a great dual sport ride. Most of it is C level of difficulty but it is a C+ road for about 30km south of Port Douglas. An experience rider on a KLR could handle it OK but not recommended for an inexperienced rider on that bike - definitely not R1200GS friendly. When we made this ride there was a rock slide on Kookipi Pass that was most definitely not big bike friendly.
