From Ashlu Main, stay left at +6.5km. [Ashlu main forks down to cross the river, but stay left] You are now on A600. Continue on A600. In about 2 km you come to a final fork that goes down to the power dam. Stay left. The road now gets steep and rough. At km +3.8, part way up a hill, you come to the turnoff for the Pokosha spur. You can park here at 410m, or drive a high clearance vehicle to a landing on the Pokosha spur at 460m.Unless you have a high clearance 4WD, you'll park on A600, at the start of the Pokosha spur. There is lots of water on this trail from crossing streams, so you don't need to tank up till approaching the pass. Walk up the only drivable part of the Pokosha Spur, and you'll soon be at the 4WD parking spot at 460m. From here the road is very rough, although there are often ATV tracks having gone a bit further. The start of the trail actually goes on the old roadbed of A610, the Pokosha spur. But as you hike up, the road soon turns into a walking only trail, where extensive alder clearing has been done. At 710m you will come to a faint fork in the old roadbed which is the point in winter that people can go down and cross the creek. But the main summer trail stays on the right fork. Eventually at 850m, you come to the end of the old roadbed. Beyond is a waterfall and steep rockface. Here a constructed trail turns right and goes up beside the waterfall creek, then crosses above the bluff. It is well marked, and a beaten path. Next you'll cross several big slide paths where a swath thru the slide alder has been valiantly cut by the trail building team of the BCMC. At 960m, the trail comes down by Pokosha creek, where there is a small campsite and fire ring. Then the trail continues up and finally crosses the braids of the source of Pokosha creek. Here it turns south and swings around the bowl to go diagonally up the steep alder covered headwall to go thru the "back door" hidden pass into the Clowholm drainage. Here the ribbons and markings stop, but you can continue all the way south to Sigurd meadows and eventually the Sigurd trail. To do this, stay at 1200m most of the way, then climb to the 1270m pass at 49.8878,-123.4229, just above the largest lake in the Sigurd drainage. Then go thru meadows and find the upper Sigurd trail.
