Talked with the Mt.Baker Ranger Station yesterday.... Canyon Creek Road will not be fixed until 2017 or 2018!!!
Bear Paw Road
- Thread starter SNOBI-WAN-KENOBI
- Start date
and this biggest BS about this is, they HAVE the funds to fix the road.
as of now, you can drive around the washout.. but the USFS is talking about putting up a gate to stop that.
We NEED to do something about this.
Here is what the FS has come up with for the future. Both riding areas (Canyon Cr and Grouse Ridge) get the shaft. Grouse access decommissioned. Canyon cr past the Y (up to Bearpaw) classified as closed.

Are they attempting to make it a de-facto Wilderness by not allowing motorized in?
It definitely seems that way!
Closing the access to the actual riding areas (sub-alpine) at 2 of 3 established (sno-park) locations, and pushing users to the smallest of the 3 is NOT A GOOD PLAN. This 3rd area borders Wilderness, and guess what would happen when people see untracked snow for miles...
This is NOT a well thought plan.
