CONCONULLY TO CANADA – 80 MILES

Head west out of town on Mineral Hill Road, which leads to seldom traveled silty roads. After getting back onto the main gravel road, you’ll climb up to Baldy Pass with distant views before and after it. The route then drops and climbs a couple more times as it wraps around the west side of Tiffany Mountain. After a short distance, the route enters Loomis State Forest and heads up the ominously named Skull and Crossbones Road, where an old homestead cabin and corral can be seen before heading down to North Fork Toats Coulee Creek. An optional extension leads to a high point called Cold Springs Camp in the forest not far from the Canadian Border. The route then winds down into a spectacular valley just south of Palmer Lake in the Sinlahekin Valley. With the dirt and gravel behind you, pavement leads you north past Palmer Lake through the former town of Nighthawk along the Similkameen River to the Nighthawk border crossing from the US into Canada.
