I think the long trail ride deters a lot of people from going in there, but yes it really is that good, however it is not an area for rookies. You don't need a map just turn off the highway 4kms west of Mcbride on the dore river road. There is a parking lot not far from the highway. From there either go with someone who knows the area well or hook up with somebody in the parking lot that you can tag along with. I will not give any further directions because you really do not want to go there without someone who knows the area, there are a couple of spots that at the end of the day are very tough to get out of.We had an episode a couple years ago where there were a couple of smaller sleds with novices riding and we were stuck on the hill til almost 10:00 pm getting everybody out safely. That was not even on a huge pow day
