Valemount ATVing

Hey all,

Through VARDA I have been applying for grants to develope an ATV strategy and trail map for our area(Valemount). I think my last application was successful and should be finalized by the end of this week hopefully.

We need to guide our visiting riders to areas that are environmentally sustainable and have no impact on the threatened Mountain Caribou (so yes that means please stay out of Allan this summer folks !) We are hoping to focus more of our efforts down the Kinbasket Lake Drainage as there are endless opportunities down the lake for excellent ATVing, and even mud bogging on the lake flats in early spring. Lots of potential.

As I do not own an ATV, I have not spent much time exploring these roads, except in hunting season with a full size truck. So this summer we will be focussing on GPSing and gathering trail info for a map which would come out summer of 09.

Long story short, I GOING TO NEED SOME FOLKS TO RIDE WITH during the week to gather info on these trails. I thought is would be a great way to get small group rides together. I can do most of the organizing here at the office, but if you are coming up here to ride this summer, drop me a line and let me know, ill then find us an area for the day and post on here so anyone else interested can come as well.

Should be a good time and a great way to grow the sport.

Drop me a line

Re: Valemount ATVing

Here are some photos from the Westridge FSR ride. Its about 26km in and takes you near the headwaters of the Mcleanan River. Beautiful scenery ! We put on 65km on the ride by taking a loop back down from the Power Plant at 14km. This would be a great ride for the entire family.
