Bridge River Valley Tourism - Winter 2016/2017
Bridge River Valley Tourism Winter 2016/2017 shot with Blake Jorgenson Photography this past fall.
The Upper Bridge River Valley communities include Gold Bridge, Bralorne, Gun Lake, Tyaughton Lake, Gun Creek Road and Marshall Lake. Gold Bridge is the central location with a small Post Office, Library, General Store, Hotel and the Gold Bridge Community School. Population is approx 250 year-round residents.
Nestled between the rugged Coast Mountains and the Fraser River to the east, the valley sits in a rain shadow area that is typically drier than the coast. The rocky western section spills out of ancient glaciers from the Lillooet Icefield and gradually transforms into the grassland meadows and plateau zones the Chilcotin region is famous for. It’s a geologically unique area with many different types of rock in all shapes and sizes in a rainbow of different colours.
In the late 1800’s prospector’s discovered the Bridge River Valley and all it’s geological wonder and a gold rush soon started. During the years of 1933-1941 population was in the thousands and the area was booming. The last big mine in Bralorne closed it’s doors in 1971 and settlements like Bradian became ghost towns. Over 4 million ounces of gold was produced from the valley. Bralorne Mine is operational once again and the mine is milling gold and employs 50 people. Ranchers and outfitters soon followed the gold rush. Cattle and horses were in high demand. The infamous Gang Ranch, at one time the biggest ranch in North America, is located to the NE and has grazed cattle in the South Chilcotin for over a century. There are cabins and cow camps located in lush meadows all throughout the many valleys.
The area is home to an abundance of wild life including big horn sheep, mountain goat, grizzly & black bears, cougar, lynx, bobcat, wolverine, wolf, coyote, deer, moose, beaver, loons, eagles, owls, herons, hummingbirds & 100’s of other species. First Nations’s people were the first to discover this paradise and have used it for generations. Historical Graveyard Valley was the site of tribal wars between Tsilhqot’in (Chilcotin) and St’at’imc (Lillooet) people over 200 years ago.
Today the region is famous for this amazing network of trails the first settlers left behind. Hikers, Mountain Bikers, Horseback Riders & Motor Bikes share the singletrack trails. Through spectacular wild-flower filled meadows, along pristine alpine lakes and over high rocky mountain passes, some of the best trails in the world were left for us to enjoy by the early settlers. Conservationists have worked hard to protect this unique wilderness since the 1930’s and two protected area’s have been designated –South Chilcotin Provincial Park and Big Creek Provincial Park to the north. Local residents and commercial operators help keep the trails open and many hours of hard volunteer work go into maintaining them for everyone to enjoy. Endless trails for you to enjoy in this wonderland!
Mountain Bike at South Chilcotin Ridge-o-Rama
Mountain bike video taken on the Ridge-o-Rama trail at South Chilcotin Mountains, British-Columbia, Canada. The ride started from Friburg Rec-site. High trail was the main trail that brought us above the tree line. We passed by Eldorado cabin, Eldorado pass and Camel pass to finally reach Ridge-o-Rama (west). The view on the ridge was truly gorgeous: likely the most beautiful trail that I had the chance to bike on. We left the ridge by North Cinnabar trail which was in a terrible state near the creek and we got barely lost for half-hour. We managed to find our way and reached to road down the trail at 9h30 PM. That was a long (about 40 km that took 11.5 hours) and a tough ride (total of 2404 m elevation gain) but so amazing. Video starts at Eldorado cabin and ends near the creek on North Cinnabar trail.
Note: the video has been stabilized using the Deshake filter in VirtualDub.

Place Glacier (Pemberton, BC) - Epic Hike, The Vancouver Outdoor Club
The trail led us through woods, over rocks and glaciers, among spectacular waterfalls and deep, cool canyons.
The first 4 k was a ruthlessly steep trail. You would realize this steepness when you come back (and especially when it is rainy)!
On our way up to the Glacier, it’s partially sunny. However, the story totally changed on the way back. You would feel testing the limits of yourself was more important than any certainty of retrieval. Scrambling on slippery rocks became unavoidable.
The scene had an extraordinary charm. The large expanse of the landscape with its nobleness of outline refreshed my spirit. Gazing at the magnificent glaciers, Isn't Nature an inimitable work of art? I asked myself.
There I watched the beautiful scenes unfold, moment by moment. There it's capturing precious moments. There shone out of Mother Nature so noble a spirit - giving me a sense of proximity and connection to where and what I admire.

Le chemin de fer Canadien National longe une des rives du lac.
Une route mène également à la plage et il est possible d'y faire du bateau, du canoë ainsi que de la pêche.
Il y a également plusieurs sentiers de randonnée dans le secteur, dont un qui offre une vue spectaculaire de ce majestueux fjord.
