I won't be able to make it out for this, but I'm curious to know where you like to go from Battleground. Ever go up into the Canyon Creek drainage East of Chelatchie (Healy Road)?
Yes, out past Chelatchie Prairie you can get on the 54rd, which offers some good elevation gain, and lots of connecting forest service roads.
Our other more popular option is out past Sunset Falls on the 42 and 41 roads. Again, good elevation gain, and lots of connecting roads to explore. These run near the East Fork of the Lewis, and Copper Creek.
As long as the snow holds up, I plan on making a lot of trips this winter.

One of my all-time fav's. Super scenic up there.

I am working tomorrow but would be interested in future trips. It has beens few years since i have been about wheeling up east of Chelatchie prairie.
Amazing conditions today! I'll get some pics up in a bit. After a pathetic winter last year, it was so nice to get back into some good snow pack. I have hopes it's only going to get better as winter progresses too.
Cool vid. :thumbup:
I had a hunch you'd know of Copper Creek. Oftentimes when I'm heading back from the snow I'll come across some shuttle rigs with kayaks on top.

Good to hear, Paul. Keep an eye out for future trips.
