Fools Gold Route - Mamquam Pass

(Kindle eBook Link) Fools Gold Route - www.amazon.com/...
The Fool's Gold Route. Few attempt it, and even fewer successfully complete it. It is not an adventure game but can be considered an adventure quest.
A series of logging roads, trails, flagged routes and long bushwhacks with no trails or markers at all, join together to form the adventure race seventy-five kilometre long Fools Gold Route. Take an adventure guide on this adventure trip.
The Fool's Gold Route wilderness adventure begins in the mountains behind Squamish near the upper Mamquam River and terminates in the hills near Port Coquitlam and is not recommended for a family adventure sport or adventure tourism. However it is not mountain climbing, scrambling or western mountaineering. It is bushwhacking, at its most challenging level.
Travelling from West to East, the route begins on an old deactivated logging road on the side hill above the Mamquam River that runs out of the Mamquam Lake.
This is all that remains of the collapsed logging bridge that marks the western end of the Fools Gold Route.
Starting in the autumn offers relief from the dense underbrush leading up to Mamquam Pass as the thick vegetation is completely covered by snow.
As the snow pack melts away in the warm Fall weather, a crust forms, allowing us to walk on the surface of the snow, rather than having to slowly trudge through it.
The fool's gold route movie is adventure travel at its best, but it is not an adventure game in the Rocky Mountains and should be undertaken as an outdoor adventure tour in coast mountain sport.

I made this Fool's Gold Route video with hopes that more people would travel it. Go for it!

Not surprised to see your name here... Just read a bunch of trail reports the last few days about the fool gold trail. An absolute must for me in the future!!!!! Hoping to find a way between bennie lake and widgeon lake instead of the first part of quarry road. Any suggestions?

Nice to see some video of this route, but a bit more thorough one and can’t understand everything that is being said.
