High Alpine Sledding The pictures on this page
where taken at the various locations mentioned below. They depict the kind of
landscapes you can expect on a sled trip in the Bridge River Valley. Vehicle support can be
made available to get your sleds into the various snowmobile trail heads. If you sled
in from Whistler or Pemberton, transportation can be arranged from the end of
the snow line into Gold Bridge. Let Billy Watts, motel owner, know if you
need this service. Billy can also arrange sled repairs & service with
an excellent local sled mechanic. |

Taylor Basin Access to the trail head into Taylor Basin is about 20
kilometres from Gold Bridge, at the end of Tyaughton Lake Road. Suitable for
intermediate to expert sledders; excellent alpine areas, six to eight hour
trip with 40 to 80 kilometres of trails. Mountain peaks soar to 8,000 feet.
There is a trapper’s cabin at 6,600 feet for warm up and shelter; bring a bit
of firewood. |

Relay Creek This area is a new frontier. Ask Billy about
access. Relay Creek is part of the famous Gang Ranch and the whole region is
virtually untouched by snowmobiles. You may require extra gas, and you may be
breaking trail for 50 to 100 kilometres. Seek good advice, get good maps, and
make sure you’re an experienced, expert rider. |

Slim Creek Sleds should
be taken by trailer to the north end of Gun Lake or over the “Saddle” at the
southeast side of the lake. This area is for experienced riders only. Never
take this ride alone! You’ll reach elevations of up to 9,000 feet, ride all
day, cover up to 250 kilometers, and need to carry extra gas. Trail connects
with Battlement Ridge, where there is an old mining camp. |

Lone Goat Creek Lone
Goat is another area for intermediate to expert riders. Access is from Steel
Bridge (on the Hurley Road), about 15 km from Gold Bridge. You’ll cover approximately
60 to 80 kilometres. Lone Goat is known for alpine bowls, snow caves, powder
snow, and unlimited photographic opportunities. The Bridge River Valley
Snowmobile Club maintains a cabin with solar power and a stove. Bring
firewood. Donations left at cabin appreciated. Get a good map. |

Noel Creek This area provides family fun within easy reach from Bralorne. Upper Noel Creek accesses rolling alpine country and a glorious 150 foot glacial ice wall. Medium to experienced riders can find 40 to 60 kilometres of riding and altitudes in the range of 6,000 feet. Pack a lunch and enjoy the vast vistas! |
