Clemina

[rider1]

There was a time you could go the back way into Clemina is that still possible to do? It seems to me we went down a road for about 50km along the river.

Ya but its maybe 30km. Takes you into an avalanche valley with some dangerous terrain then stops.

 

[rider1]

Thanks Maxwell. I think i went in there in 1998 it must of felt like 50km. Do many people go in that way anymore?

 

[maxwell]

Maybe your thinking of going in from kin basket lake road? That would be much longer. And no I don't know of anyone that does that anymore since the trail is nice and groomed and shorter. We're you following kin basket lake the whole way? Very narrow lake looks like a big river

 

[rider1]

That sounds right there was a river on my left going in.

 

[maxwell]

And then did you go up a cut block to access the alpine?

 

[glassman]

Yep, used to go that way years ago. About 44 or so K, from what I remember. We used to only use that before they started regular grooming and the trail was too rough. The drive down there now would take longer than zipping up on the groomed trail. Pretty sure it is a caribou closure area anyways. Will need to check the govt maps before trying. Pretty fun trip in, man I am getting old. I remember the access from the highway to Miledge, only 6km to the alpine.

No caribou closure from the back way, but quite the waste of a day IMO as it is a huge long road ride in to any fun riding.

 

[maxwell]

ya very pointless to go in that way now with a nice groomed (shorter) trail. and your right its probly closure now anways

 

[wombat]

Howard Creek and Buster are areas to ride down there. Are they still open?

 

[Depsnolvr]

Yes although then you are getting into caribou country. Id look at the gov website for maps to be certain before I went down there. I have a few in the office, but they are huge....
