Ride Description: We’ll ride up the ungroomed FS 129 for a few miles to Meadow Creek Reservoir, then we’ll explore all of the single track trails, treed hills, and meadows S of the Reservoir. We’ll try to find a backcountry cabin, and will go to “the overlook” that overlooks much of the Fraser Valley. Recommend downloading the free COTREX app if you don’t have another winter trails app that shows Meadow Creek trails.
