Here's a few pics of our ride to Bruce and Law creeks

The highest point we rode to near Paradise mine, just over 8300'











The cabin at Paradise mine

Re: Quadding near Skookumchuck

Used to be a dam it looks like



Meadow in the Paradise bowl, glad to see it was untouched, hope it stays that way.



Playing on the rocks in the bowl





Lake Enid campsite and the lake





Part way up Bruce ck came to this man made pond/swamp. There was a coffer dam where I was parked



Some cool old buildings



Sketchy bridge over Bruce ck on the Law ck trail, not much holding it up anymore.

Re: Quadding near Skookumchuck

Bridge over Law ck, the bridge itself was strong, the approach was a bit of a challenge!







Mt Slade (I believe) up Law creek







Law ck trail, the easy part!



And one of the not-so-easy parts. Had to shovel the trail in a few spots to make it wide enough so we didn't have to sidehill the quads through them.

One of the repair sections




And as far as we made it up Law, just before this spot was a huge rockslide that would need a few hours worth of work and more then just 2 guys.







Law Ck falls

Re: Quadding near Skookumchuck

Those look great, thanks for posting the pictures. I may try to get there on a bike in October. I think we will try the Enid way up to Paradise.
