5) There's a trail head south of Cadomin, through the mining area just South of the graveyard. After you go through the 2nd tunnel you will see a chain link fence that has an area blocked off to your left. There's room for a few vehicles to offload ATV's and head out. I've never been on this trail, but I believe it does head into the MacKenzie Creek trail.

We did this one last summer. Thought it would take us to the summit of Cadomin mountain. The mine had it closed off that way, so we went the other way, got lost, and ended up at a look out over Jasper NP. That trail had been ditched every 100yds or so. For erosion prevention? Maybe to keep excess traffic off? It was a pia to travel.
It was an okay ride, but we all figured it would have been better to stage right from town an head up. That's the plan this year.

This is a copy of the map AEP provides. It shows the trail we were on. I thought we ended up at the park boundary, but it was a different ride. The trail up the mountain has been closed for a couple years, anyone know if its reopened, replaced like they were supposed to?

good question. I just called on Friday to ask but will have to wait till monday for a reply. The mine was suposed to make a new rider friendly trail up to Cad-mountain. Last year they said they couldn't find enough workers or something to get it done.
As for that other trail with erosion ditches I have no idea where you are talking about. Was it on the North or South side of the county road? With ditches like that it would seem like you were riding where you shouldn't have been??
