Mallandaine Pass Trail

The historic route to Mallandaine Pass is not easily found. It is for skilled route finders, and huckleberry pickers only. However, in winter snow covers the undergrowth making this a popular ski touring area.

This section of the original Mallandaine Mine trail begins 0.4 km along the Mt. Evans trail, and is for history buffs willing to do a bit of route finding.

About 2 km along this section of the trail, remnants of the Good Hope Cabin and the Mallandaine Mine can be found. The trail then drops down to the 4 wheel drive road in the valley bottom, and continues along this road for about 1 km, before rejoining the Mallandaine Pass Trail. Note: There is another trailhead at 5.6 km on the Fiddler Creek Road. The last 2 km to this trailhead is 4 wheel drive only. KIMBERLEY, BC
