Oh wow -- there's a blast from the past for me. I used to work up there (well, the Carson Creek gas plant) in the early 90's!! That is a -really nice- provincial park.
I remember once I was biking some 20km loop in the woods around there and I came across a sow and two cubs. Since I was by myself, I sort of thought, wow, this is it. In 2003 some hiker is just going to find a pile of bones and a rusty mountain bike. I have *never* pedalled so hard as I did that day, riding back to the car. On the other hand, maybe that would be fabulous way to train if you could pull that off 2, 3 times per week without managing to get eaten by the bears!!!
