Buller North Ridge
Details
Located above the Spray Lakes Reservoir, this trail climbs Buller North Ridge. This is exploratory as I have not done it before. It will be a tough workout if we have to break trail. It is recommended that you have snow shoes in the car. The trail goes through trees up a steep incline to a beautiful viewpoint with great view of Spray Valley.
