Unloaded at 17km on Saturday, trail was decent shape, couple of dirt patches from 18-19km.

Exactly true. We hauled a four place enclosed up to km 17. Unloaded the sleds. Backed down a km or so and backed up again to the snow line and parked off to the side, so the other trucks could easily get by. A couple of dirt patches just like the post above stated. We rode to monster bowl, Copeland mine and back into turtle. Only came across three other sledders. Which I would say were the two trucks with decks ahead of us.
They are doing road work at the main entrance turning off the highway going into the main entrance, so you have to use the east access road to gain access in. It is paved. The snow is still holding up well and still snowing up top.

Not sure but not that high, you basically follow the river at the valley bottom for the first 15km of that trail.

You don't need a mudslide to keep you away. You backed out from the spring ride we wanted without the mudslide or anything else in your way

Can access Eagles from the boulder side. Bit of a ride, but can be done.

As far of fuel range if you wanted to see some country how much fuel would you need to go from cabin to cabin assuming you stage at the bottom of both area's and return back to your vehicle? I believe the eagle's round trip would be longer.

Yes I know that but turtle and boulder are fairly close to each other I believe so it may be posibble to get there.
