The Saw̓pa (Cloudburst Mountain) Divide is an overnight bikerafting route that travels through the traditional territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) along two beautiful and verdant river valleys that abound with history. The riding is a mix of gravel roads, trails, and two very short paved sections, with a stunning Class II float back to the starting point.
