Holmes

[bbtoys]

for those that ride this road you MUST have a radio. the channel is posted at the beginning of the road. plowed to 30 or so and not many places to met a truck safely. can't park on the road in most places and by law you are not allowed to ride a sled on a plowed road.

Bull you can use radio assisted roads at your own risk no law in BC parking may be a issue though you can't block the road

Thanks Barry, Its good to have people like you working hard to keep areas ridable. No need to upset the very people who allow us to ride there roads whether they are in use or not. A radio goes a long way to keeping your truck looking like a truck and not a pop can.

you didn't read my post. I never said you could not drive on them, you can't run a sled on them and that is the law in B.C. read before you post.

they have changed priority. they are moving all loggers to the morkil as of next week so the road will go back to unplowed after that.

now it is closed due to ice jamb and road is covered with ice and the water is running down the road.

Hey Gents, long time McBride rider but i haven't been into Holmes before and was just looking for an update, are they still logging in this area ? how far up the road can you drive your truck right now ? looking to check this area out in a week so any info would help.

No logging, parking is right at the parking lot, last 5km up is brutal! Second hand info today!

Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong spot. But last few trips to McBride we stayed at NV cabins. That 1st creek you cross heading to town. That's Holmes is it not?
I've seen guys parking down there just off the creek and tracks up from there.
Is it okay to be parking there? I didn't look too closely to see if the tracks where on a ploughed road or not.

Yes it's fine! At one time there was another way into Renshaw! At 16km there was a trail but willowed out now.

Thanks for the info, how long of a ride in is it ?

My wife and I rode our dirt bike up there from the Holmes river camp ground. I think about 25km up the FSR from the hwy you take a left up a trail, follow the valley all the way into renshaw, check it out on Google, I've never taken it myself in the winter but a local I met up there hunting said that's the way in. My guess is it would be a rough trail. And the willows were brutal so not sure how it would be in the winter

 

[driller]

there was 8 trucks there when i went by on Saturday so should be easy to follow the tracks there is a couple on honey spots in there
i ran skidder back in the early 80's at 52 klm

 

[j.c.higgins]

Not for below average riders!!!!!

 

[bigcobb]

Thanks for the info guys, ill see if the group is up for it.

 

[steveo10]

The last group I know of that that went a couple of April’s ago didn’t have much luck but maybe things have changed since then??

 

[pfi572]

It’s been years since I was in that way as well . I think late 90’s .
The last portion was creek and kind of a water fall mess if I remember right ?
I think this is a rough idea .
Barry ?

 

[bbtoys]

yes the willows and the waterfall. always a challenge if your going into the renshaw that way. oh and the possibility of 3 avys coming down from the right as u go in

 

[winterulez]

I bet the willows are nasty now. A bunch of us spent a day clearing the willows about 10 yrs ago. They were thick back then and we didn't even get 1/2 way down the trail.
