HorseTheif & Silvermine

[AaronQ]

Hows things looking up horse thief/mcdonald Cr. ?
Heard some rumors that you can drop over from horse thief into the silver mine somewhere? I'm guessing it'd be back up somewhere near those "sled dunes".
heard its quite a climb but with good snow conditions anythings possible right.

i think you may want to stick to forester and gain some knowledge of the purcells before venturing off into places that will bite you. lots of things are possible out here but a wrong decision may be your last. first step look at a map.

i'm curious too.. i've been dirtbiking around mc donald creek... and read somewhere we can ride out there, but never did . so what kind of terrain up there? i look through google map and found what look like decent area but don't know how hard access it can be... only thing i know i was up there in june and i could see some huge rock and still snow but look like it would be perfect for big corniche,, anyway a little information would be appreciate thanks

you should look at a topo map, or google earth. silver mines is probably 50+km from macdonald as the crow flies. paradise is a little closer but 3 drainages south.

I think he's talking about Paradise Mine not Silvermines.
