This trail provides access to Boreas Pass via the old Boreas Pass Wagon Road, which it connects to after crossing FDR 406.
Much of the trail above County Road 50 generally follows an old flume which diverted water from North Tarryall Creek and its tributaries to mining operations located in the upper Tarryall Drainage.
Water is not available at the trail heads or at Selkirk Campground. This trail is also a popular cross-country ski trail.
