Grande Cache doesnt get as much snow as you think, once you crossed the Kakwa River going south you would have to have a pretty well planed route. Someone told me the woods road on the Mcbride side to Kakwa is way south of Mcbride. But you could stay at the camp on Kakwa Lake, nice place awesome riding.
Kewl thanks for the help I heard kakwa lake has become pretty strict on protected areas is this true?
It's true, the enviro-nazis have a stranglehold on most of Kakwa now. You can see maps of exactly how much atwww.swancitysnowmobileclub.org
Its really too bad that the majority of this area will not be enjoyed by anyone now that much of it is totally inaccessable to anyone unable to hike the very rugged 30+ kms into these areas. But there is supposedly a route from kakwa to Renshaw that is traversable by sled. Me and a friend are plotting a trip this winter. Google earth has recently added high quality images of renshaw all the way to the kakwa/prince goerge trail so there is a route to follow. I would love to try this trip with a fellow snowester!!

Heard of people traveling with a sled-full of fuel from Renshaw to Kakwa but never heard any names. Would truly be a kool trip!
Where abouts is red deer falls? I've heard of it.
I've gone up the Walker Creek road way to Kakwa(west of Mcbride).
How far of a ride is it on the walker creek road and how far past Mcbride is it?

Never say never, as far as kakwa to red deer its been done but is no longer allowed due to enviromental closures. I personaly have droped out of the back side of intersection and onto logging rd's that are very close to rensaw i am pretty confident that there's a way!
mcbride to gc would be easy. ride from gc through the copton and follow the river up to the kakwa lake trail and then from there through to mcbride via walker fsr or if you wanted to break a few rules you could ride the sheep creek vally all the way up to the burn and then out to kakwa lake!

+- 65 km west of Mcbride to the Walker Creek Foresctry road. From the highway to the cabins on kakwa lake is 100 km. There is NO route between the Renshaw and Kakwa; horseback only. Been looking for over 15 years.
Not true.
Been done.....keep looking.
Would show you but I'm getting old having ridden the Renshaw area going on 28 years now. In those days, moreso than now, SKILL > HP!
PS. Sure is nice to have groomed trails to the alpine unlike days of old.
Must share some of your secret spots 
I wasnt even a thought and you were crusing Renshaw on your 1976 AC El Tigre

When you find a way without going through Willmore park let me know
well if you look at a map willmore is north of intersection mountian and its easy to get there so willmore is not an issue.
