Trip
Bikepack - Carbon River Road
Join me on a great overnight adventure to the Ipsut Creek Campground via Carbon River road. I posted this same trip, but very last minute, in July and heard from a number of people expressing interest but had prior commitments. So here we go again...

Leader's permission required! Bikepacking course graduates only: This is going to be a fun trip! It does require Mountain Bikes, hardtail or rigid. Full suspension is probably too much. Gravel bikes will be considered but require some extra vetting. There are a few log crossings right before the campground so panniers will not be allowed for this trip. I like to move at a very casual place, take in the experience and enjoy the day. It is a short ride to the campground so there is little need to hurry. Having something to sit on in the evening as we watch the sunset from the shores of the Carbon River is highly recommended.
Let's meet at the Carbon River trailhead at 10:00am with wheels down by 10:30.
