Elevation at Elkford
- Thread starter curtisbirg
- Start date
Elkford townsite is at 4295 ft. Not sure about inland. 8 of us are also coming to Elkford on Saturday and were going to ride into Koko claims/smith basin.
Maybe we will see you there. It won't be hard to miss us, just look for 8 summits!!!

The staging area is 1400M acording to the alt meter on my summit, I went up to monroe lake today from Koko and then south on the bullriver FSR. started getting rocky on the road down south when we got down to @1600M elev. is when the rocks start, on the way down it started snowing there should be atleast another 3 inches up there over our tracks, not much but it helps. there is no trails cut upto smiths or the gorge either... maybe I'll meet you guys at the staging area, what time you gunna show up?

should be there between 10:00am and 11:00am. We are leaving Medicine Hat at 5:00am and it should take 4.5 hrs, however its snowing pretty hard here so it will take a little longer.

if you see an 06 blue F150 supercab at the staging area and there's no blue 09xp around, i'm already up there and i'll probly meet you on the trail somewhere

hey, you guys must have went to a different KoKo then i went too...
i went out at about 10:15 and waited till about 10:50 at the staging area. then it was just too cold to sit in the lot, went out riding. I Made a trail into smiths up untill the steep gorge/treed creekbed area. then I gave up. went up top and played around in the pow. Mirror was pretty much played out, so I ripped around there a bit and also in the small fields on the way up. met some other locals out there, and any sled without heated carbs was bearly running. it was -26C up top so kinda cold. the other guys didn't was to drop down onto the bull river fsr so just kinda puttered around till 3:30 and headed home. all in all good day.. there's a good base now in most medows up there so now we need another 5ft of pow or so, then there will be some good playing areas...
