I did not desire any more westcoast pinstriping on our Escape then i have already accumulated so we stopped. My buddy was on a dual sport bike and he scouted it ahead and said it got a little too gnarly for him as he is new to the bike. We then made it to Okay lake without any diffuclty as the roads are fairly new and easy to manage. Thanks for the information! Cheers.

It's a fun ride, but we didn't make it to the top. We didn't meet up with those nasty alders that love to choke up the seldom used trails, but the boulders and steep slope stopped us eventually and we had to turn around. A quad or a high end dirt bike would get you up there with little difficulty, but it doesn't suit the dual-sports we were riding. SUV? Maybe... I don't really have much of a handle on what SUVs can do on those trails, but I'm guessing that it's doable. I'd be interested to know if you made it should you try. Here's the trail up the mountain. Sorry I don't have a track of that one to pass along to you.

I am thinking of visiting Okay Lake and Okay Mountain, the road to the lake looks decent. Can you comment on the state of the road up the mountain? Is it all choked with alders or are some sections clear enough for an SUV to pass through? Thanks Andy!<br /><br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
