This scenic route over Skogan Pass is 10.2 km to the Pass. It is 19.4 km to Highway #1 (near Deadman's Flats) from the Ribbon Creek Day Use Area. There are some impressive views along the way but power lines often obscure them. Due to clearing for the power line right of way, this route is often basked in sunlight, providing good foraging for ungulates and omnivores.
