So how are the debris piles coming along? Are they gone yet?

We didn't go that far up the Trail, just checking to see if We could get through from Trail 7 then drove down the creek.

That's going to leave for some interesting riding this summer up that way! Never been on that one but a buddy did last summer and said it's pretty steep, can't imagine how rough it's going to be after this.

I was up there 3 weeks ago for the first time. Couldn't go to far up the claims due the amount of snow on the trails. Going back there at the end of August. Nice video. Beautiful country.

WOW..... I really need to see this in the summer!!! I love sledding out there, and go a few times a season. That is a lot of run off coming down this year. And thanks for the vid !!! even the wrong one was good

Anyone know the trail conditions currently? We ride this once every year on a dualsport ride from Calgary to Invermere, and are planning on trying it east to west July 20th? Thanks in advance.

Heard today that there is still some ice and snow on one avi path, quads Can get through but à full side vehicle would not get through, too much tree debris. Once you get past mear lake they are logging on the right side and there is no access unless you have à radio.

We went through July 20, east to west. Streams are higher, a bit more water on the trail, but the deadfall and avalanche debris has been cut out. No snow to worry about. The approach to the 1st bouldery hill is a bit washed out. On the Bull FSR side, they are logging on the north side but we didn't see any equipment. They do have a sign up no access, but it appears they've only impeded a few hundred meters of the original trail, and been using the old logging connector road. Mears lake is overflowing.
