I'm not hating, it's awesome report, but that's a lot of gear to carry the whole time.

you're telling me! I am the guy in the pics Andrew Baker and that 60lb pack had loads of gear in it and made this trek even more epic! especially seems I don't pedal ever! bike parks, shuttles and dirt jumping only till this particular weekend when I borrowed the Banshee Rune and did this last minute! so rad!

As a professional sports photographer, this is awesome in SO many ways... And as a weekend MTB'er, it's something that I'd like to do as well. As the old saying goes, "It's isn't the destination that counts, it's the journey and the people you take it with..." Kudos to all!

most important thing about the Chilcotins when you're there? sure ain't the bike. a special wilderness that has accessibility by mtn bike (rare in BC) and some nearly pristine wilderness values. also a high risk environment. wilderness travel experience, mindset and skills are the most valuable thing to bring, and maybe a short travel hard tail, this ain't a 'rip the rad lines' kinda place at all for 1) the terrain ain't it, 2) get hurt where these guys are riding and you're in a serious world of danger, and it's going to take a very spendy chopper ride to get you out. best way to see the place is to spend some time with the horse guides, they know it all.

Unreal photos and experience. I couldn't help thinking how hard it would be to ride with a huge pack on my back. I have some work to do before I tackle something like this.

Ha, now I know how heaven looks like, I have to be good so I can go to Vancouver. One of the most amazing AM trails? I've ever known.

This is the year to do epic back country rides amazing photos makes me second guess buying the whistler pass ,There is some vast terrain In B.C.
Awesome ridge lines and meadows.Thanks for these photos Margus,great Job to all who carried those top heavy backpacks.
Were there any lakes you could have stopped and fly fished at ?
