Oh well.  No more wheeling south of the #3.  Too bad.  Some wonderful trails down there.

Very unfortunate, but not at all a surprise.

This province, and country, suck.

I haven't spent much time down south in that part of the province. Would be nice to have a club event there to check it out.

Draft plan released.  https://talkaep.alberta.ca/CastleManagementPlan

No motorized access.  Page 102 of the plan.

It also looks like they remaining area between the Castle and Kananaskis will soon follow.  The government has named these areas the "Livingstone and Porcupine Hills priority planning areas" with a statement that new rules will be put out this year for motorized access.

Yeah, rest of the east slopes will follow. Athabasca, Cool Spur and North Sasketchewan headwaters are also "under examination".

Unfortunately all the places I like to camp/fish will soon be off limits. The greenies win again.

Meh, time to buy a house in Moab. Lotsa good trout fishing around there from what I'm told. :)

This is going to exclude lots of folks from enjoying the wilderness that are unable to cover the distances on foot or on a pedal bike.

Very disappointing that the people in charge are so unwilling to take other uses into consideration. But not very surprising.

The above link from Facebook was shared by the Snowmobile association. It's a government survey after the fact. Somehow, they are measuring the various groups responses. Check it out and participate at your own discretion.

It's very much a survey that's directing answers toward what they want to hear.   >:(

I filled this survey and wrote my comments too.  However, in the realm of things, I am sure it will be translated and interpreted like this video clip

I would suspect that if anyone wants to do a trip across Racehorse or North Fork Pass this may be the last summer that it will be possible.

When we went out there last summer the Racehorse pass was already closed.
