When I went up to Whetstone last Tuesday, I encountered 5 log trucks coming down 224.  They are cutting up there for sure.

I believe the 54 is open on weekends, not so during the week when they are logging. I was up in the Whale Head area dropping off some hikers for a walk about on the 11th and didn't have any trouble getting up there.

Has anyone hiked or bushwhacked across the saddle from whalehead to high lake yet?  I've been studying the region and the old maps for the past year.  Since the most recent posts are five years old I was wondering if anyone has already done it.

Never considered the trek from Whale to High Lake. Intriguing idea, though!
