Revelstoke Mountain Biking in August Martha

Aug 21 2011

Martha Creek descent is accessed from the Sale Forest Service Road. Drive 20km
down Hwy 23 past the Martha Creek Provincial Camground and drive 15 km up the road
to the Hydro Towers. The last 5km are rough and require a vehicle with good tires
and preferably 4 or all wheel drive. There is a winter route and summer route.
The summer route is better for driving.

The trail starts in the alpine at 2100m and drops to 650m in 10km exiting
on Hwy 23 near the campground. The first section has some pedalling and was
rerouted about 4 years ago to create a longer trail and to avoid a really band swampy area.

There are two other sections of the trail that can be accessed lower on the
road if the weather doesn’t permit riding from the top or your car can’t make
it. Like most alpine trails in this area, the snow usually stays until July.
