I was there this past friday sledding, lots of snow up high, and the main road is not plowed past 5km mark....I would wait for some warmer weather,

Depending on how far you want to make it up, but usually the horse camp at 25 km is clear by May but beyond that is anyone's guess until the ATV/4x4 guys break the trail and thats usually summer (end of June). There are TONS of other FSRs in the area that net some good deer without going that high.

Just remember to watch how far up you hunt on the Whipsaw trail because a bit of it technically is in Manning Park (no hunting). 1000s on km's of logging roads around there though. I'm not 100% on elk but there are whiteys and muleys, bear and moose in the area (and cougars - 2 legged and 4 legged!). LR

Yes, there are Elk up the Whipsaw, but not lots. I worked up there during all of last years hunting season. Didn't see many.

I have seen elk up in the back end of the whipsaw ,there are not lots.

I also saw elk up in the back end of Friday creek ,this going back about 5 years ago.

If this year is like any average year (not!), you will be at least another month to drive very far in there.... fairly high country.... we don't as a rule try heading in there until at least the end of May.....

It'd be really hard to make it up there at this time of year. We go every September. We tried once on the May long weekend. Spent the entire time exploring around Arrastra creek.

I've seen elk up there a few times, but all of them were on the Coalmont side.
