This may help some.

Best way to get to Healy Creek from Alberta is;
1. Go west on Hwy #1 to just west of Revelstoke.
2. Turn south on Hwy 23 to Galena Bay ferry.
3. Turn east to Trout Lake and go to south end of the lake.
4. Approx. 3-4 mi. south of lakes end, watch for an old metal bridge on the left and turn there. If you're unsure if its the right turn off, watch for creek names along the main road, they’re all named. If you get to tenderfoot creek, you've gone to far south. Healy creek bridge is approx 1/2 mi north of tenderfoot crk.
5. Once you;ve crossed the bridge, there is an ok unloading area less than 1/2 mi up the road.
6. The ride to 'THE NOTCH' is approx. 16 mi. Once you get on the trail, don't take any trails to the left as they just go up to cut blocks of timber.
7. The 16 mi trip is senic and no problem for new riders and once at the top there are lots of challenging trails.
8. Trail is popular with dirtbikes, 4x4's, and atvs.
9. Take your camera - fantastic scenery - oh yeah, don't feed the Grizzlies.
10. Hope this helps.

Not sure if you were up there last year but the main road along the valley bottom has a big slough that has been somewhat fixed by atvers. We all rode through with care but on the way back I stopped and helped a couple of guys, 2 spots you could end up in trouble if you're not somewhat experienced and/or have a tippy quad. Would be nice if the mine owner did some more work on the road. There was a mini excavator up there in 2007/08 up to the notch.
