If you are planning to ride Belle you have to drive to km 4.5 on a FORESTRY ROAD. up to 8% grade so you better know what you are doing pulling a trailer up this type of terrain. Have good tires and tire chains are suggested. I was out this morning and sanded the road but this is very expensive

Rain and ice made for an interesting trip down in reverse with trailer about 7 years back.
Once you round the bend and tart up, you're committed
I always carry chains since then.

Thanks for the head up Barry.

just another reminder about the Belle forestry road. know what you are doing to get to the parking lot. have chains or really good winter tires. but you still need to know how to drive on a 8-10 percent grade forestry road.

got smart and finally picked up a set of chains.
Been up and down with crap tires in the past. And was always lucky.
This year got new tires and finally chains.
thanks
