Chilcotin, BC fly-in ride video

Here's Warner Lake by float plane then riding back down to Tyaughton Lake in BC's Chilcotin. 5m 30s as I couldn't justify cutting Free Bird down any more! Check the Eldorado ride for video of the alpine in this area.

Just like with the Hornby video you did a fantastic job with variety on the camera angles. The shots of Sheba Ridge flying in also were very nice

Great Video!

Got to do my first ride in the Chilcotins this summer, your video brought back some good memories... horses just roaming around the camp, not to mention the amazing single track.

Can't wait to make it back.

Thanks. Lots of wildlife seen out on the trails including a Grizzly on Warner Lake beach as we docked.

Here's Lick Creek from Tyax:

We chartered the plane for $500 total ie. $125 each. Otherwise, if you use a guide it's $300 each including lunch and shuttle back to Tyax at the end of the trail.

We did use a guide for Lick Creek, which was a more difficult route to follow. The shuttle up the road was great for that too - still a long climb from there on.
