This is my cottage road just outside Trout Creek.

whatever you do dont ride the port loring south  to ahmic lake ruff ruff

try la pourvoirie du nord about 25 kms west of val dor nice accomadation ,chalets or rooms with ensuites restaurant on site  

Forestel was a very nice place but sooo expensive when you have a room by myself. Also they had a hot water issue they failed to notify us about and my room heater didn't work. The area lacks other services like fuel and food. There is a trail to get you into town to fuel up. I would like to try alternatives next time.

Yes, it was a eye opener both for scenery and weather conditions. We also stayed at the Sled Den. Awesome hosts and excellent food. Also a great learning experience meeting the off trail riders and hearing their stories and riding techniques.
