Mid-day at Baldy Pass: Along the totally dry and in good shape backside access route- lots of trees festooned with flagging made me think that another round of logging is in the works? Last summer there was a very overgrown section about 1.5 km before the pass- kudos to whoever took the initiative to cut back the alder jungle (I don't think that it was parks) Initial descent from the highpoint down to the pass seemed way looser than I recall, the remainder of the dh was in it's usual rough, rooty shape
Edit to add- the smoke was a bit better than in Calgary, with decent vis to about 4-5 km away.
The clean up of the overgrown section is nice for sure. Have you ever rode the Lusk connection? We rode cox and baldy on the weekend - absolutely perfect conditions with a bit of rain friday. Have never done the connection with Lusk. Looked like it may be overgrown? Might attempt that next time.

I rode Lusk once, but that was about 20 years ago. I recall a wide, almost old dirt road type of trail through a matchstick pine forest with no views at the pass (or fun!) at all. Could work as a connector though.
Monday afterwork Bowmont-12 Mile. Hero dirt, fast trails, few minor puddles.

hahah. Yeah that's what I would expect - and maybe overgrown now. Wonder if anyone ever connects cox over to baldy. Would be a fun day.

I rode Lusk pass from Powderface to Baldy about a month ago on a Bikepacking trip and it wasn’t too bad. A few sections of overgrowth but from what I remember it was all rideable. I think the trail still gets used quite often by equestrians. There were actually some pretty fun downhill sections coming down from the high point.
Or part of a 1 way crazy mega trip to Canmore. (Merlin, Kestrel, Tom Snow, Powderface, Lusk, PV, Razors, Quaite Connector, Bow Corridor, Quebexican).
The boys did something of the opposite a couple weeks ago, Canmore-Ings, about 100km and 4000m. f*ckIN' IMPRESSIVE
WOW. On that note, I don't think conditions on the moose can get any better right now. Got a pretty good rain on sunday night and it's MINT now. A few puddles here and there but great dirt

Same great conditions at WBC yesterday on Braggin-Merlin-Recon-Discon-Telephone-Long Distance. Could actually see Moose Mountain- it is sporting patches of a strange white substance.
