Trail Information
Start on the Damfino Lakes Trail #625 in an old clearcut, quickly entering mature forest. In 0.7 mile a junction with Canyon Ridge Trail #689 is encountered. Turn left and follow Canyon Ridge Trail 0.5 mile to the junction with Boundary Way Trail (#688). Stay right at the junction. The Boundary Way Trail meanders through boggy meadows, then along a forested hillside. More meadows alternate with forest as the trail follows a ridgeline toward the Canadian Border. Boundary Way is a primitive trail, which receives only limited maintenance.
