I would like to discover some easy 4x4 routes this weekend in Nanaimo area and maybe up to intermediate. Any leads, anyone wanting to hook up and guide me. I think the weather Sat is so so, it might be a good day to check places as I am from Victoria. Any ideas, lead, info how to get there?
If Nanaimo Lakes gates is open you can do lots of exploring there and it'll be pretty mild. Basically from there just grab a map book and wander around.
Thank you Moose, so I could use these maps? https://www.mosaicforests.com/access/#recreationalaccess to get me started on gates open?
I've never used that personally. Just the backroads mapbook or trial and error.
You can also use Google satellite to scope out some points of interest and line then up with your mapbook. Alternatively, you could use Gaia and it has the backroads mapbook, topo, and satellite on it but it does cost ($40ish).
thank you for taking the time to answer
