I have a friend who was riding up there last week until Friday, so I don't think they've closed the trails down.

Check out http://www.ridevalemount.com/ for trail maps of all the well know trails.

This area restriction has been put in place to protect public safety due to the wildfire's rate of spread and to avoid interference with fire control activities. This order will remain in place until noon on Sept. 15, 2018, or until it is rescinded.

This order applies to Crown land within the geographic boundaries shown on the map (Canoe Reach Marina area restriction map) that is posted online at: http://ow.ly/nlti30lnfjz

Dave Henry also has a massive fire in its drainage.

Basically anything on east side of Kinbasket Lake is closed.
Very dry and Smokey
Best to stay west side of the hiway.

Can also get maps from the Valemount tourist centre. They show quad trails and the staging areas. Very scenic quading in that area. Make sure your rads are nice and clean before you go. Lots of high speed trails and lots of climbing for Kms on end
