Police Trail

It was used by only a few miners during the Yukon gold rush and fell into disrepair, but parts are still used by local hunting guides, hunters, outfitters and trappers.

In the chaos of "prospectors attempting to reach the gold fields overland through northeastern BC, starvation, violence, and disorder inevitably surfaced.

These trails were a vital connection between families and communities, and between hunting and gathering areas for the original inhabitants of the land.The task was assigned to Inspector J. D. Moodie and crew of the North-West Mounted Police.

Lady Laurier was still in use by local trappers and hunters and by guide-outfitter R. Lynn Ross and his guides and clients whose tenure was west of Pink Mountain, B.C.

Prior to hunting season, Ross sent guides and ranch hands along his trails to cut out any fallen timber and make them passable for a pack train of horses.
