About

A short walk to a viewpoint provides outstanding views of Salmon Arm, Shuswap Lake, the Salmon River Valley, wildflowers, birds, and the extent of the 1998 wildfire across the valley on the slopes of Kle7scén (Mt Ida). Look for the viewpoint trail in the southeast corner of the parking landing (the lower track). A loop is possible back to the parking area. If you’re into exploring, farther up the road is a network of Forest Service Roads and old skid trails that are managed by the Snow Blazers Snowmobile Club in the winter. Watch for ATVs and motorcycles. Necalcla?nk (Chase eastern dialect) or Nclcahl (Splatsin dialect) means “steep hillside" in Secwepemctsín.

Access

Via Fly Hills (170) FSR west of Salmon Arm off Salmon River Rd. Turn west onto 13 Ave SW staying left on the main route as it becomes Christison Rd, then 15 Ave SW, then 170 FSR. While 2-wheel drive access is possible, 4-wheel drive is recommended. After climbing the FSR steeply through six switchbacks for approx. 7.5 km, watch for the parking landing on your left.
