Awesome views, Eric....your drone skills are fantastic...!! My Great Uncle is buried on Taseko Mountain - did you happen to see a cairn or marker anywhere in your travels...??

I guess it wasn't obvious for us that it was what we were looking at, but there definitely was human activity at some of the peaks.

Cool video, beautiful spot. Can you get there by vehicle?

[@ryanvansoest1942]

Great video and I see this was back in 2020, have you been back out there since? I heard last year the gate was out and the ministry did some work on the road as far as fishem. There are also rumors that there will be bridge maintenance or replacement so the Pellair site can be cleaned up. The bridges as of last year looked passable aside from the tchekazan which I believe is at the end of the airstrip and was looking pretty rotten and missing deck planks on the one approach last year when Destination Adventure was in there. Do you have any knowledge of access up the other side of Taseko via the Beece Creek FSR up to Red mountain area as I heard the ministry deactivated it in 2021 and 6KM past the lodge is no longer accessible?

Hey
No we haven't been to the west side since 2020, sadly. And the last time we made it down the east side was 2017 I think. Although a friend of mine did manage to get in around Beece Creek FSR on dirtbikes, but with some bog/mud pushing and said it was quite a lot of work.I hope our group makes it in there again, especially on the east side as we have been going down there every year since 2005.

Apparently Taseko Lake lodge is doing everything possible to keep people out on both sides, but that is just rumor I hear.

The speed and agility with your drone just brings an extra element to the footage. Awesome 👌

Thanks!

Hey Eric, I just have a few questions about the area if you don’t mind.

[@EricMilewski]

Ok, shoot

[@J_bish87]

@@EricMilewski haha pretty much figured it out. Was wondering on the access into taseko but pretty much figured it out, she’s a no go.

[@EricMilewski]

@@J_bish87 east side is probably gone for good, sadly.
West side i last head there was a bypass to get through the gate to drive down to Fishem Lake and beyond

[@J_bish87]

@@EricMilewski ah thanks ok, that’s too bad.

@@EricMilewski never been to the area but looks unreal. Why is access gone on the east side?
