Giscome Portage Trail

Today, my wife and I decided to explore northern British Columbia. We have developed a passion for biking and we decided to explore the Giscome Portage Trail. What a disappointment! Even though this is a provincial park and they do specify on their website that cycling is permitted, the trail is a mess. Clearly, the trail has not been cleared for years. Roughly every 5 meters there is a dead tree blocking the road. The cows on the trail have reduced the softer portions of the trail to muddy pits and there clearly has been no attempt to clear or even maintain the trail. We did not expect paved trails or even perfect trails, but how hard is it to clear a trail? A couple of days and a chainsaw would suffice to remove the dead trees. The city of Prince George could certainly show the province how to do it: the trails behind my university are meticulously maintained and it is a joy to bike down the many kilometers of trail cutting across the forest. I tried to send an e-mail to BC Parks to complain about the condition of the trail, but their site does not have any contact information. So much for a province that claims to be "The Best Place on Earth."
