looking for info on Bear paw
- Thread starter Tony skagen
- Start date
Tony, north to Bellingham, head east on 542, two miles east of Glacier, head north on Fs. Rd. 31 at the Y stay right to Bearpaw, left to Excelsior. Conditions/ need more snow to access, lots of lakes that need to freeze and then be covered with a couple feet of fresh. Glacier creek is probably accessible before Bearpaw, although a lot smaller area. No red!

Thanks for the info!!!
I made it up to ~4500'/1/2 mile from the end of NF-3160 on Saturday. There was maybe 4-6" of snow on the road at that point but lots of rocks sticking through the snow still. I walked up to the saddle above Church Lake at ~5300' and found good snow there but the trail through the woods was very thin. There were tracks but I'd guess it was a bit abusive to get sleds in there with the current conditions.
Never been up there either, how is trailer parking at bear paw or excelsor?

There is little to no trailer parking. Sled decks are best. It's road side and some small areas to park depending if the groomer plows or not. Or you can park in the dirt and ride up from there.
When there is parking some jack *** with a big trailer will come in and take up the whole dam lot so no one else can get in or get turned around.
Bring a shovel and chains you may need them.
Tar.
