Oldman Range, Hyde Rock to Duffers Saddle

Post by oldblue »

Can you still drive from Hyde Rock thru to Duffers Saddle ?
or is it controlled by DOC as a mountain bike track

still managed for mtb but vehicle tracks would still be there. don't know if they have gates blocking access. it would bit hard to check a moment everything up there is probably still buried under snow at moment. the tracks that you can drive on are legal roads.(i'v attached a photo)

There are 2 gates. Both Locked. The area at the Head of Fraser River is the problem. Parts of the actual track are also on private land. DOC have been trying to get an easement through the private land. So to get to Hyde Rock you need to use one of the other roads up there.
