Has anyone checked the southern part of the route below Fernie.   Is it as bad as up north?
If its open...Fernie- south on Cokato Rd to Lodgepole River Rd to Wigwam Forrest Service Rd to Ram Wigwam campground...back on course.
Thanks

I've just heard back from the Chamber of Commerce in Fernie.   

"Hello Ken!

All of the routes and roads that you have mentioned are open. Some are not open to motorized vehicles (Wigwam area) and some you will have to beware of possible logging trucks (Lodgepole area). Watch for washout along any route that runs beside a river, but it shouldn’t be too serious (just a good thing to be cautious of).

Hope you have a great trip!

So - We're going to shorten our original trip.  We were planning to ride from Banff to Missoula.  We are going to start in Fernie, ride local trails for two days, and then head south back on schedule.  If anybody is interested I can send a Google Earth KMZ or more detailed road info.  Hope this is helpful to others.  Best of luck to all the locals affected by the flooding. 
Happy Trails
