  • We did a cruise around Apex Mountain and Nickelplate French mines. I've been doing what I can shooting from inside my jeep but I've got another drone and we will be getting better footage in the coming videos!

    Man, I love that valley when the sun's hitting it just right - probably one of my favourite places in BC (at least where I've been).
    Unfortunately, not enough people for my wife, and not enough Mcdonalds for me!
    But I think you've set my next dual sport adventure for this weekend, thanks.

    Many years ago Jeep Jamboree Canada held yearly events based up at Apex Alpine. Good selection of trails, some very challenging, however maybe not open to the public? Beautiful country up there!! I remember both trips I made up (1998 & 2006) from the US very well. Granted I also remember the nasty deep dust really well too. LOL. And while not exactly cliff edges, those steep steep hills with no big trees and off camber trails were often extremely scary. I spent a week camping and wandering as far NE as Revelstoke before the event. Good memories! 💚

    Always fun to explore the back country that I've never seen with Bruce. We've been up to the French mine and another sketchier one above it but not all the way through to Apex. We did find a route inside the mountain from the level you drove to and came out on the side of that steep slope 2 levels down. Pretty amazing what those miners accomplished and I still say they picked the best view and just started drilling lol! We've got lots of those here in the West Kootenay.

      @BruceCookfmx No, it's not rock is rock, not water, that was never used for water. If you knew anything about mining, you would know it was an ore shoot used to bring rock to a crusher down the hill where the water is. Now, if it was going along the hill side from a water source to the mine, that would be to bring water to the mine, but it's not.
