Mud Lakes

After Poison Mtn, there is the Yalakom Valley, China Head Ridge, and the Big Bar reaction ferry that crosses the Fraser River.

Not much wheeling involved, mostly scenic, but is worth the drive. A good place to camp on the second night would be at Schraeder Lake.

Miles and miles of trails to explore. Awesome scenery; bring a camera.

Is it my imagination, or do the Backroad Mapbooks totally miss that area?

I've noticed that as well - without looking at the book it seems like the cut off is just south of the area. Mind you, they are coming out with an updated volume for the Cariboo this spring so maybe it will encompass additional areas........

Its a nice area. The back road map books have missed it which is good. The area is on the government maps. It is also discussed in some back road books.

Hopefully it will stay off the backroads mapbook again. When we went through there last year on the August long weekend, there was very little traffic and people. It was a nice change from the usually crowded places, like Harrison.

On many of the trips we do, we can go for days without seeing another vehicle (except when passing through towns of course). You are right, it's VERY nice. To me, "getting away" does not mean camping in the middle of a hundred other people.
