Backroad option Kimberly to Skookumchuk

[c-pass]

Thinking of taking Tata - Lost Dog FSR north to Tata FSR east as a backroad option to Hwy 95A going from Kimberly to Skookumchuk.

Any comments on this route in terms of scenic aspects?

Also it appears if one continues north on Tata - Lost Dog FSR that there may be a road that goes north on the west side of McNair Lakes and connects to Skookumchuk Crk FSR that would take you east into Farstad.

Has anyone ridden this recently and if so please comment on this possible ride.

I rode this route back in 2006 or 2007. As I recall, it wasn't all that scenic... typical forestry road through lots of logging operations.

"Also it appears if one continues north on Tata - Lost Dog FSR that there may be a road that goes north on the west side of McNair Lakes and connects to Skookumchuk Crk FSR that would take you east into Farstad."

The connection by the McNair Lakes is very hard to find (at least it was for us). Send me a PM if you decide to do it and I'll flip you my GPS tracks. We wasted a lot of time trying to find that part of the route - it ended up being an overgrown cart path that's really easy to miss.

Cheers,
Andy

Andy thanks for the information. Sounds like it would be better to ride the slab and spend more time on the Lussier-Whiteswan leg of our trip. Have seen enough of the clearcut as it is.
