Do you mean its not for novice riders, or do you mean its for someone who has been on a quad, but not for someones first time

You post is confusing.

yes that what I was trying to say I was in a rush when I was posting. its forriders that know what they are doing not frist timers.campout the night before there are two camp sites will know which one later tonight or tomorrow then ride on saturday to onion lake. it is about 35km one way should beable to make it back by dark if everything goes right last time we did it we were 18hours to brake downs on the trail set us back about 6 hours and the weather was not the best,came out after dark in the snow....it was late in he year(early oct I belive) with longer days we will be good.bring extra gas is a must never kinow how mush mud there will be or still snow.

I forgot to tell you we are bringing gear as if we were spending the night up there, just in case we have issues again. We will be getting a very early start saturday, and don't count on not riding in the dark. Other than everybody else camping below we will not have any reason to hurry out. We are still going with the idea of in and out in one day.

I talked to my boss this morning about it and if I remember correctly you can do in and out in around 6hrs if its straight and narrow. But I guess that also depends on where you go in on.

well 6 hours I think you would have to be to the pipe all the way I like to look around and take in the veiws from the top, stop and eat

The way we went in i don't see it possible to do in and out in 6 hrs, but we also didn't pay much attention to time either.

Anyway, this trip has been postponed till Aug 7th and 8th do to extenuating circumstances. We are going to do the ride into redfern lodge and come out sunday.
