Jeff Pelletier's video: Trail Running in the Southern Chilcotin Mountains

There is a place not far from Vancouver where impeccable singletrack trails wind through lush pine forests, alpine meadows and lakes, and along a series of interconnected wind-swept ridges with spectacular panoramic views. The Spruce Lake Protected Area in the South Chilcotin Mountain Range is located just 150 km north of Whistler, and 100 km west of Lillooet, B.C, an area which is nearly 72,000 hectares in size. I was invited to tag along with friends Julie, Glenn, Jackie and Chloe for the August long weekend. The plan was to make the 5 hour drive on Thursday afternoon, then to run all day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, returning to our campsite at the Tyax Resort each night. The twist was that we'd be taking the float plane from the lodge on Sunday morning and getting dropped off at Spruce Lake so that we could run out.
