we used quads but i wouldn't do it again. there are a couple of deep water crossings, one with fast moving water. a fair jag of muskeg as well. that was in the first part of august and there was about 3" of rain in the previous week. you could see where other quads had tore up quite a bit or real estate. i had talked to one of the f&w boys out of hinton and he personally had never been in there but knew a few that had and said the trail wasn't that bad. all i can say is that if you go don't go alone. between the 2 fast deep water crossings and the muskeg there is a lot of potential for problems, not to mention the damage done to the land with the machines. after saying that i will say we were back there just camping and the spot where the bridge is washed out ( if you have been there you will know what i am talking about) was completly dry, where as the previous year the water was 3' deep. take it for what it is worth, that is the way the west country is, things can change in a hurry. all i know is i would hate to be back in there and get a storm come through and dump 2-3" of rain, you might be spending a night or two in the bush.
