Apparently the main reason people visit Tumbler Ridge
Dinosaurs.
For some reason we thought this hike would be a short 500 m each way, but it turned out to be 4 km round trip with significant elevation, which is exactly what the brochure says, so I don’t know who’s fault that is (not mine).
It was exceptionally smokey, but we found the Theropod tracks, which were by this creek. Technically this location has Theropod and Ankylosaur tracks, the latter of which was the infamous discovery, but the former were much more visible (see below).
Heading from Tumbler Ridge to Gwillim Lake (back in the direction of Chetwynd), we stopped at the Bullmoose Marshes, but saw no Bullmoose, so we are seeking a lawsuit.
But we did see this frog.
Ten points if you can spot the rig.
There are also many wind turbines along this mountainous passage between Chetwynd and Tumbler Ridge. Not a common feature in BC.
Gwillim Lake was bumpin’, and we did some more off-roading to a great hike with a good view and unique geological features, but that will have to wait for another post.
