Offroading
The Caren Range looks down 1,000 feet to Pender Harbour, providing panoramic views of Texada Island and Vancouver Island on a clear day. Patches of old-growth forest and numerous ponds see a variety of wildlife, including Roosevelt elk and the rare marbled Murrelet. At the summit, you’ll find deep snow in winter which results in lush vegetation the rest of the year. It’s hard to believe that most of the area has been clearcut logged at least twice.
For 4x4s, ATVs and mountain bikes, most of the area is accessible by logging and mining roads. Use caution— some are active. Reach these roads by following Menacher Road (Kleindale) or Trout Lake Road (Halfmoon Bay) off Hwy. 101.
