whew...tried to read that in one breath....

CRF450: Grande Cache has some decent riding as well if you're looking for some good scenery and technical rocky terrain. Only been to Mt.Hammel and Kaw Ridge so far on the bikes and wasn't disappointed.

Got a contact there now that rides a bike, hope to hook up with him to find some new trails to ride this summer. He says there's lots of great stuff to ride, looking forward to heading back there.

As an Albertan, I have rode at Greenstone, and it was great. CRF450, I have also rode lots at fallen timber and if you like it there, you would also like Greenstone. No cutlines but lots of trails.
Not trying to take over your thread, but Powderslut, are any of those areas better than Greenstone? Our group likes to camp in meadows and ride long days. The only thing wrong with Greenstone was it was dusty. Would you recommend one of the other areas to try or is Greenstone the biggest?

Greenstone is Huge,you can ride for days and days..Guy Parret (spelling is probably wrong)pro enduro rider has trails all over the place,that is his back yard.There are also 3 super good mountain bike trails up there.Kamloops is always dusty,but if you camp at any of the meadows,just get in the tree's and start climbin,lots of creeks and springs,with fishin and camping lakes all over.Up high is rarely dusty,alot of mud and rock.
There are a butt load of trails out Barnhartvale,with meadows all over the place,once again if you are at low elevations,it will be dusty,but if you get in the trees and go up high you will not be bothered by dust at all.then Noble creek ,it is low elevation and always in the shade,but super sick trails and forever long.
I would suggest coming to ride the loops again,pm me if ya do

Thanks allot for the replies guys I'm going to have to take these into consideration. I ride in Enoch, its close to the River Cree Casino if your familiar with the area, your not supposed to ride there since it is Indian land but i have written consent from the Chief and Council as my mom teaches their kids in an Edmonton school. However there are lots of people that ride their anyway, and in hindsight it is only a 50$ fine or something if the city police or enoch police catch you.... not suggesting to run away or whatever but its up to you if its worth the risk.

Ya the written permission :rules: thing does work at Enoch. I should see if I can get a pass so I can come play out there, without worrying about trouble. I did go to school for 6yrs on the reserve, that's got to get me some love.:lol:
