Basically a brand new road. We ran into a fair bit of deadfall but managed to cut through it. Snow started around 800m and was around 30-40cm deep. St...

Great condition, but only drove to the 1km mark before starting up the next spur

Francis Bailey - Apr 06, 2024

Lots of recent logging activity up to the 6km mark. Road was in great condition but there was a sign stating the bridge at 10km would be out temporari...

Completely overgrown from just 20m after the start. Still walkable to some extent but there’s significant pull down/slope sheering after the first swi...

The road is in pretty good condition up until the 5km mark after which there’s a fair bit of rockfall blocking the road. One could presumably remove i...

Bridge is in, but I didn't go beyond the turn off for RN1000

A few rough rocky spots, but the road is otherwise in good shape. There's a locked gate at ~2km (4km from Pemberton Valley Road) that states no motor ...

Old road that is now blockaded and does not appear accessible at the end anyhow

Francis Bailey - Mar 29, 2024

Drove up to just behind 7km. The road is in 2wd condition up until the 5km mark. Afterwards there are a few small washouts/trenches that will necessit...

Road is gated just 1km. Looking at maps/satellite there doesn’t appear to be a way to get around it either.

Francis Bailey - Mar 29, 2024

Snow starts at around 720m although there's two large patches lower down that I was able to push through. The road is melting out fast though!

Recently graded and in perfect condition up to Shovelnose Creek

Francis Bailey - Mar 24, 2024

Bridge is out and road looks to have pulled down quite a bit. Visible from the approach to rambles

Francis Bailey - Mar 10, 2024

Drove in from Highway 1 all the way up to the start of Oregon Jack park. Some snow on the road, but all melted out when we left in the afternoon. Easy...

Very overgrown but passable with a deep enough snow pack

Francis Bailey - Mar 02, 2024

The road was covered in snow from the start but we didn’t note any abnormalities under the snow pack. It didn’t appear too overgrown and there were ju...

Plowed up to the recreation site at the lake and easily driven by 2WD. This road serves all the residential houses along the valley but just happens t...

We only drove up a hundred meters or so, but the road looks in great condition down the power lines.

Francis Bailey - Feb 24, 2024

Road was gated at the beginning and that appears to be the case for almost anyone taking this route. The road seemed driveable until a pull down aroun...

[From Robert Hergott] - Roads were in great condition, light traffic, and with low snow levels, we made it to about 1 km from the repeater station at ...

Francis Bailey - Feb 04, 2024

We only drove until the snow line at around 1.2km, but the road bed appears intact/driveable until the first washout around the 3.5km mark. Numerous h...

Branch 8100 had a few challenges that could be worked around with a high clearance 4x4. First a downed tree that we were able to chainsaw and clear ou...

Mystery Creek is in much smoother condition than Harrison West. Easily driven with a 2WD. Only drove to the turn off for Branch 8100

Francis Bailey - Feb 19, 2024

Road has a shit ton of pot holes, but it's otherwise driveable with 2WD and snow free up to the 28km mark. Did not drive beyond that

Francis Bailey - Feb 19, 2024

Road was heavily overgrown. Only made it about 500m up.

Francis Bailey - Aug 07, 2021

Drove all the way to the 11.7km and then went up the "LZ1300" branch. All 3 bridges were in and road condition as overall good. They appeared to be do...

Francis Bailey - Aug 07, 2021

The road is plowed until ~5.5km where the turn off for the upper spur and hiking trails are. A little icy in spots but otherwise manageable. We didn't...

Francis Bailey - Feb 10, 2024

Snow level starts at around 800m. I didn't drive up this way but could see from our route.

Francis Bailey - Feb 10, 2024

[From Oleg Kouznetsov] - easy road walking reported. However a gate at the bottom prevents any vehicle access.

The road is still plowed and in great condition. Lots of ski tourers out today
