McLaughlin Canyon Trail

Overview

The McLaughlin Canyon Trail is a part of the Brigade Trail used by the Hudson's Bay Company in the early 1800's and became known as the Caribou Trail during the Gold Rush in the 1850's. Today it is an easy 3 mile round trip. There was a wildfire here in 2007, but wildflowers are just starting to take hold in this area, which makes it worth the trip in spring and summer.
