At the annual meeting of the Prince George Backcountry Recreation Society in December of 2025, Sylvia Foot (from the Omineca chapter of the Back Country Horsemen of BC) shared that a new trail was ready to explore in the Red Rock area called ‘The Coburn Trail’. Primarily designed as a horse trail, this loop offers several shorter or longer loops that have been developed over the years.
From the history available on the Back Country Horsemen of BC (here), the trail was first worked on as early as September 2018.

Do not count on the gravel pit gate being unlocked. You can park trailers on the edge of Cale Creek Pit Road. There is a good driveway to back into for turning around.

This trail should be ridden with someone already familiar with it as not all markers are clear & you could get lost unless you have the Avenza map. At this time the pit gate is open.
