The CN shack along the tracks by Allen creek.
Hey all went up the hill yesterday(sat) drove to km 13 ish, rode 3 or 4 patches of gravel about 20 feet long then smooth sledding past that. looks liked it snowed a bit of fresh within the last few days and was snowing lightly, you couldnt see any of the old tracks, blew a belt because of the heat but its spring it happens.

i would def ride next weekend if people were planning, worst part is listening to the willows scratch the truck on the way up.

turning around might be sketchy but we found a logging cutblock right at the snow line so we lucked out.

i know this thread is worthless without pics so i will try to put some up

I was fishing up until Friday in Vale, and one guy said they drove up to km 13 at Clemina and rode from there. Supposedly good, but they had no pics.

maxwell, any first-hand knowledge to share?

how was fishing ?


We still unloaded at 13km and road approx 1km of gravel in patches. The trail was VERY soggy. we took up to morning glory and it will be the last time it can be accessed that way for sure....lol. Once up top the snow was awesome. Up to 160cm in spots and much less in others. Wind, Rain, Snow, Sun, we had it all. We road the ENTIRE area. The goat ridge trail is turning into a creek quick. I wont be going again, but Im sure some brave souls will try to ride next weekend.
