There goes the Castle

North Fork has been removed between the 2021 and 2022 Alberta maps.

Racehorse is now closed on the BC side.

The BC/AB border Passes; Racehorse and Deadmans, are now closed year-round to motorized vehicles. The Access Guardian will promote educational awareness for this regulation change.

Go figure >:(

I confirmed with AEP that North Fork is closed. The closure is due to the creek crossing. No trails with water crossings are permitted.

Later on I talked with AEP about putting in a new trail to avoid the water crossing.  It requires around 200 meters of additional trail installed to make it happen.  They told me that they are looking at it.

Well it sounds like there maybe hope yet...we'll see.

Perhaps we should build 200m of trail ourselves?

They indicated they were talking with "their partners" and I think that meant the CNP Quad Squad.  I also talked with them (CNPQS) and they told me they were going to talk with AEP.

This is the spot just passed the current creek crossing and you can see the existing logging roads on the hill above.  These lead back to a bridged crossing over the creek.  Might be fun to go have a look one weekend in the spring.

Back when I first started going to Northfork the trail was all on the North side of the creek. The current route with the stream crossing is a newer route.
