Hooch - Salmo, BC
Hooch is one of the newer trails built in Salmo. It is located in the Hooch Creek riding area just outside of town. The trail is very fun and winds its way along Hooch Creek. It has some good sidehill root sections, wood features, and straight fast sections. It is rated a blue trail, but I would consider it on the darker side of blue.
To access the trail you can climb Mr. Moose or Green Goblin to Mama Bear for the final push to the top. It is approximately 270 m of elevation gain to the top from the parking lot.
Thanks to the Salmo Valley Trail Society for building and maintaining the trails. If you are riding in the area don't forget to grab a membership or donate through Trailforks. Check out their website at https://salmovalleytrailsociety.org/
