York Creek staging area #48 (this access is out of Coleman to the South Trail System – trails to Airplane Crash, Lost Lake, South Snowmobile shelter, etc.)
Follow Highway #3 west, you will pass through the Frank Slide, the town of Frank, and will bypass Blairmore. Highway #3 between Blairmore and Coleman is also called 20th Avenue so just BEFORE entering Coleman take the first left turn (the street sign marked 89th St. 20 Ave.) – located across from the C.C.H.S. High School. About 300 feet from that turn make another left turn which takes you across the railway tracks. After crossing the tracks turn right and follow 15 Ave., which runs parallel to the tracks, until you reach 83rd Street . At 83rd Street turn left, cross the bridge, go up one block and then turn right on 13 Avenue. From there just follow 13 Avenue and up the hill (called the York Creek Road) which will take you to the staging area. This hill is a fair climb with lots of switchbacks, I would suggest that you be locked in 4X4 before leaving Coleman. The staging area is on the left and has a permanent ramp for loading/unloading with trucks.

Spent the day at York Creek today. If your objective is to get out and melt hyfaxes then go here! Trails rutted, thin couple inches of snow on top of hard pack icy base on the hills.

Crowsnest suck azz right now. Worst trip ever. I'm staying away until they get some good snow.

if you go north to atlas condtions are way better
went north saturday planning on heading there again
sunday went south for 5 kms
south is very hardpacked with very little to no fresh
hard time finding stuff to keep sleds cool
