Inspired by the UBC VOC trip report website, the PGBRS invites you to share a non-motorized backcountry trip report from the central interior of British Columbia. We hope to see this collection grow over time. Take a bit of time to tell a great story and share some photos, submit a trip report!
This is a new project and there will likely be a few little hiccups getting things going. Thanks for your patience!
** Map coordinates are approximate.
