Ptarmigan Recreation Trails
Ptarmigan Recreation Trails are 2 world-class mountain bike trails operated and maintained by the Smithers Mountain Bike Association. One, known as HuckinEh was built in 2008/9 and offers some of the best downhill riding for intermediate level riders close to Smithers. The other, Pump Daddy, was built in 2010 and opened in summer/11 - a machine-built flow track which promises to attract even more riders to this very popular riding area.
Addr.: From Smithers, drive up Hudson Bay Mountain Road approximately 10 minutes. At the end of the pavement, Ptarmigan Road is on your left, turn here. The first road on the right is Woodcreek Main, a forest resource road that is shared by mountain bikers (please beware of logging trucks and avoid this road in wet conditions if possible). About 0.3km up you will see a parking lot with a Smithers Mountain Bike Assoc. sign. This is the bottom of the trails - you can park here and ride up, or vice-versa. Another ~3km up the road is the upper parking area, signed, just before the gate -- this is the top, where both trails leave from. Smithers, BC
