WHERE THE MOUNTAINS TEST THE FAITHFUL
Starting near Salmon La Sac, the route climbs into the mountains on a trail that stays approachable for most of the day but still feels like a proper 4x4 run. Along the way, you get a mix of forest terrain, old mining remnants, rocky sections, and higher shale stretches that add a little more exposure and character as the trail goes on. Fortune Creek is less about big obstacles and more about the overall experience: a full day on a trail with history, scenery, and enough rougher terrain to keep it interesting without turning it into an all-out rock-crawling trip.
