Description: This bushwhack description was provided by Chris Perra. Since the moment I saw this road put into the back end of Tumbledown Creek I have wanted to do this bushwhack. It was pretty cool to receive an email from Chris who had done exactly that. He actually went into the area with intentions of finding some summer skiing. Here are the weblinks for the two trips he did into the area during the summer of 2012.
The first trip was South from Bridgland Pass to Tumbledown Mountain.
