On Pender a network of unofficial and informal, but well-maintained, mountain-bike trails exist on the Caren Range. 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. For mountain bikes, most of the area is accessible by logging and mining roads. For Sechelt: Loraine & Brad Proctor, are avid mountain bikers and would love to show you the great off-road riding on the Hotels Sunshine Coast. Texada has many dirt roads and trails to explore by mountain bike. The Powell River area of the Hotels Sunshine Coast offers many challenging rides for off roads. The close proximity of forests to the town lets riders be on a trail within minutes. Whether you are looking for a nice family paced ride around the Inland Lake Provincial Park Trail or the challenge of the ever changing “North Shore” styled Tower Trail …on the Hotels Sunshine Coast you can ride it all! Popular trails like Far Side Trail, Suicide Creek and Boogey’s Trail make for awesome bike adventures. Even the most hard-core riders will find excitement and challenges as well as outstanding scenery in the backcountry forest trails.
