Extreme Caution Needed Please
Forestry operations are being carried out on Lanes Tier (see map). The Trail passes along Lanes Tier (2.9 to 12.4, page 48 of the Guidebook) and Trail users should take care. The road will be impacted by log trucks using the route to take out timber southward along the Trail. Warning signs will be erected both ends of the track/road and Trail users should stop and let vehicles pass. There are a few places where the road is steep and windy and trucks will require the full width of the road and may not be able to stop quickly. The vehicular traffic will continue for about 8 months and further advice will be posted here when logging has been completed.
Please note, the map has been copied from page 86 of the Guidebook.
