GEOGRAPHICAL SITES
CHASM ECOLOGICAL RESERVE

JESMOND FIRE LOOKOUT
The Jesmond Fire Lookout recreation site is a former fire lookout tower built in the early 1970’s to aid with detecting forest fires.
The Jesmond Fire Lookout tower is located on a very exposed ridge, at an elevation of about 1980 meters, and winds in excess of 120 km/h have been recorded.
PLEASE USE CAUTION IF DECIDING TO GO – it is recommended to walk or ride the majority of this trail, rather than drive given the poor road conditions.

LAST CHANCE LAKE SODA SITE
Located 9 km East of Meadow Lake Guest Ranch, the few remaining structures of Last Chance Lake Soda Site offer a glimpse into the unique operations that once took place in this area to mine the alkali pools for resources such as Epsom salts or soda carbonate.
If you are lucky, you may spot the herds of wild horses lingering at the lake side when you visit.
