Fry Creek

Fry Creek. On my way back from Nelson and I noticed that you could look up Fry Creek, which at the best of times you can't in the winter. The peninsula is owned by a religious group. The Fry Canyon is a Recreation Area. Beyond that you enter the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy Park. Posted by Hello

Heading down the West Side of Gray Creek Pass


Heading down the West Side of Gray Creek Pass. The road on the Kimberly side is real rough and the west side is really steep. Trust me on this. My 1995 Toyota 4-Runner did'nt have enough compression so I had to 4x4 low to go down the west side.

Looking down Laib Creek ( Darkwoods)


Laib has been logged extensively as has alot of the private land holdings known as Darkwoods Forestry.

Darkwoods Forestry has managed private forestland located
between Nelson, Salmo and Creston for 36 years.

Darkwoods Forestry is wholly owned by a German family, which has owned and managed
forests in Europe for several hundred years.
