Belle is also done grooming but will have collectors on it this week as it is in very good shape and no riders on it so far.

Now that grooming is done on renshaw, can trucks go past the parking lot Or is that still not allowed? Just Don't wanna be driving past if we're not allowed. Thanks.

if the road is not soft no problem. as soon as the road gets soft i will close it down. think it is ok, going to check it out thurs.
no place to turn trailers around so leave them in the parking lot

If the gate is closed to the Renshaw trail can you still get your sled around it and head up the trail??

I was reading the log book in the Renshaw cabin earlier this year and read that some guys had been pulling sleds up on little two places with there quads up to 26 or 27km area on the trail in late May and the first couple days of June, which is something id be interested in trying as ive been on the injured reserve since January, but im guessing that's not allowed? Barry or Mr . Higgins would know.

Absolutely that is something you can do to access that time of year.

yes we do it every year. drop at the gate, pull sleds with quads on small trailer. one year the road was dry and gate was open. still can't get past 23 km with trucks, deac ditches are to steep.

So the gates not actually locked , you just close it to the trucks to let the road dry up?

Is Renshaw closed to atv/sled traffic at any point in the year?
Thinking it could be an amazing trip up in July or August.

You can't take anything with wheels into the Alpine. Where the signs are is where you stop.
