I was impressed watching an OTR trucker pulling a lowboy up the FSR, for some reason. Bold strategy in some parts of HE. Didn't know how far up he was going.
Hey buddy! I think i met you briefly on the way to power River and on the way back to town, i had a v-Strom and i was doubling my child. Good to see that i was already a subscriber!
I went up there last week on my Tiger 1200. Cool place to visit and if I ever go there again, it'll be on a smaller bike. That big, rocky hill on the Clear Creek FSR was a pretty wild ride up and down. Picking up a 575 lb adventure bike is no picnic on your own. Lol
Haha. Yes, a challenge on the big ones, but at least yours only lays over part ways. My T7 shows her rubber to the sky and she is very slippery to pick up. I carry a tow strap that makes it much easier. But all worth the soak at the end.
@@AdventureMine2022 I've only ridden part of it up to the fiveway junction past the campgrounds a couple years ago, and needed more time since I have to ride slower on street tires without dual sport tires on a maxi-scooter. Ps Are you an English teacher?
@@cs_shofar8383 Ah ok. I think the 5 way junction you are referring to is still on Harrison East FSR, just after the Cogburn Family Wilderness resort. Still another 13kms to Clear Creek FSR and 12 more kms up that rather challenging road. And no, not an English teacher. Sometimes our brief posts are not clear to others ;0)
Last I went up HE a month ago, I trailered the bike behind my Mustang up to Hick's Lake road, park, unload and head in. The ride out to Harrison is nice yes but, I've done it a million times and I got limited physical endurance. Wanted to save myself up for the FSR.
Show us the way to Upper Pitt river FSR {& by default obviously the hot springs ♨️💥 .. ✅} I did unfortunately sell my 250 years ago & of course., now I come up with reasons why I need a 250 lb bike again.. 🤦 There is a couple different ways I believe one could could access the upper Pitt River FSR that would be far more difficult than chartering a water taxi at the Pitt Lake boat ramp to take you're bike across the lake, although that in itself would probably be a fantastic overnight camping trip. First overland options is probably at the very very end of mamquam as far as the logging trucks have gone in decades past., although Google maps is showing a clear cut way out there that looks fairly recent (sorta pinecone ish valley system) I'm guessing you're going to hit alpine meadows at some point up there = & we can see the old logging activitys within the Upper Pitt FSR spur lines, I dunno how overgrown that would be in current times The other side is interesting 🤔 {I'm seeing Sylvester road to the very very end, blite lake? Or something like that, & there is possibility a connection through the trees to an elevated spur line of the upper stave river FSR {25 yrs ago there was a rough access behind Keda lake not to far away from there but it took 2 guys to haul the bikes back up, then an avalanche blocked that off, plus it was too much work} however.. I haven't checked out this new possiblity to connect with the upper stave lake FSR via a spur line= it that's possible {with a 250 or a trials bike 😅} then you would have very decent long run up to the end of the upper stave FSR At that point you'd have to side/hill {remember your stokes pit gravel pile practice of decades past} & make a connection with the alpine meadow above = following this elevation around the mountain base, although still up above the thick shrubbery & it'll connect with very recent logging operations at high altitude on the south/eastern side of upper Pitt FSR spur lines Third option is coming from sloquet hot springs ♨️ FSR { & fortunately there is duel available at Tipila village near the start of that FSR that branches off the In-chuck mainline {I'm sceptical about this being a potential link to the alpine although strangely it does probably allow the best refueling option before really heading deep into the backroads Probably all of these options are best served with a KTM 350 exc-f with extended range tank+ a rotopax {which I don't have} = but getting to the starting point before really breaking trail on a lightweight dirt bike would still be interesting to see., I suppose a Toyota pickup with a dirt bike in the box could get to the starting point at these 3 different locations also
I think you are dreaming on this one. There is an unmaintained hiking trail from the end of one of the Mamquam branch lines (E100) called Fool's Gold that takes you over Mamquam-Boise pass (4400ft) and connects to Pitt-Boise FSR. It passes through Pinecone Burke Provincial park so there will be no motorized through there. That is true in all directions from upper Pitt Lake: provincial parks all around.
My mistake, my map had that area North of the Coquitlam watershed & South of the Garabaldi range {which is why I thought I was seeing so much logging activities on either side= I hadn't factored a slim high elevation park through the middle) Ok thanks How about the Upper Stave river FSR = fuel up at Chevron before the Sasquatch Inn, Cheahalis FSR past Elbow lake, take the left after the bridge "Statlu Creek Rd" all the way to the last bridge before the end of it at Tessurd Creek FSR (that would head to Olive Lake) but at its first 180 switch back your looking for a trail towards the westward direction that someone could squeeze a drz400 through, & they'd be doing that for 1.5 kilometers to connect with the Roaring Creek FSR above Stave Lake east (just a smidgen north of Blinch Lake) = (has a land bridge been hidden here for a decade.?) = (I dunno, I haven't been up that way since 2008)
I've never turned left at Statlu, so new area for me. I'm guessing that 4k gap north of Blinch lake with the 500m+ elevation change would be the biggest problem. Fun to check it out tho!
