Description And Directions

  • Site Description: A 2.4 km (60 minute walk) with an elevation gain of 76 metres. Trail mostly used by horsemen that have been maintaining it. Campers from Jacobson Lake also hike the trail and hunters frequent it in the fall. This trail is not a loop but starts near Jacobson Lake (see large kiosk map) and ends 2.4 km up so you retrace your steps. Grizzly country and lots of little ponds, mosses and lichens on many outcrops and pink mountain heather and sub-alpine flowers.

  • Driving Directions: Drive south along the Tulameen River Forest service Road until the 46.5 km mark. This is the Jacobson Lake Recreation Site. Look at the back of the kiosk for the trail map. Follow the Vuich Trail from the kiosk for about 200 metres to where you will see the junction and a sign indicating the Rice Historic Trail. Follow this trail 2.4 km to the trail end and return the same way. No ATV's or Motorcycles please. More details and an area map can be seen by viewing the "Treasures of the Tulameen" brochure.
