Does anyone know if they put gates in at the towers? Looked like last year they had posts up,.. hoping to do a May long camping there with our family and another this year with children.

Thanks,

Dave should know,.. how about it Dave :)

You know where Sexsmith used farm parts is right? Just keep heading south on that road till you come to the towers on the top of the hill.

I was told that there may be gates going in this year, but wanted to know for sure. We usually stay on the left hand side towers, and from what I have asked around,.. you can get to hilltop lake to the west from there,.. but I am not sure of the directions.

No can't remember if there is gates or not but if there is they have always been opened. Ya trails are pretty decent all the way to hilltop. I beleive it's called the snake road the one that most people drive in on up there. If you drive to the very end of it (west maybe 7 miles off old highway) there is a log cabin. If you head north any time before the snake road ends you'll come out reletively close to woking. I's been riding them trails religously since I was 12!

Maybe sometime this year we'll have to do a trip and find a few more areas up around there, or at least get more familiar with the ones already known. Be interesting to do a GPS layout of the known trails.

Ya for sure. some of them i wont soon be forgetting. when i was 13 my friend and i ventured off up there got lost and stuck in a rain/lightning storm. he ran out of gas so i ended up pulling him home. we entered the bush by woking, and came out east of la glace. had to ride to rode home in the pouring rain. got home at 1;00am, quite an adventure for 2 youngsters havent been so stupid since then lol.

Went up there 2 days ago for an evening ride... Very nice conditions. Seems like no1 has hardly been ripping up there. Lots of untouched mud holes, nothing really rutted up yet! I'll post the one and only pic I took.

I couldn't get out this weekend,.. but if you are not doing anything next Sunday we should try for a ride. I drove by your place last Friday on my way back from Bonanza,.. saw your truck with the green machine in the back.

Must be nice to have bankers hours :)

This weekend the hills got a lot of snow. me, my gf and my buddy decided it would be a bright idea to go cruising up there in his 2 wheel drive long box ford. long story short we got stuck and it was retarded. the heavy snow has wrecked tons of trails due to trees down everywhere :( nice and muddy though..
