Start at the Prospect Road end reached from Loos Road and follow the Lower Goat corridor through old-growth forest to Highway 16, approximately 11 km from the northern start in the steward’s description. Arrange a pickup for this point-to-point option. Continuing across the highway bridge to Kopas Camp is a longer itinerary, while returning to Prospect Road approximately doubles the walking distance.
1. Getting there and parking
For the Crescent Spur start, leave Highway 16 on Loos Road about 50 km west of McBride, then turn right onto Prospect Road and continue to its end. The trail steward also identifies access from the Goat River highway rest area and from Kopas Camp at about kilometre 5 of Goat River Forest Service Road. Choose the endpoints before leaving a vehicle: the full lower route is point to point.
