Plowed and sanded up to Old Babine Lake. Did not go further but there's a small town/village at the end of this road, so it's most likely plowed the w...

Snowy, but otherwise in the same condition as before.

Francis Bailey - Dec 14, 2025

Same conditions as previously described. Snow line started around 960m (2km mark) on the Saturday we drove in. By Sunday it was almost entirely melted...

Snow free to the end. Lot's of pot holes, but otherwise no issues!

Francis Bailey - Dec 14, 2025

Snow started at ~500m, but you could drive to the gate (as some people did). The road is quite steep beyond that so we parked at ~3km and biked up fro...

Great condition. Snow line starts around 450m but didn’t impede any driving yet

Same condition as before. There’s a very steep entrance to a creek that a heavy duty 4x4 could get through but then there’s a landslide just a few hun...

Great condition an easily driven in 2WD

A complete alder farm

Francis Bailey - Nov 11, 2025

Only drove the first 500m or so and then walked to the 1.5km mark as the road was quite overgrown. Lots of tricky sections and one proper creek/washou...

Francis Bailey - Nov 11, 2025

Same conditions as previously reported! No snow to speak of

Francis Bailey - Nov 11, 2025

I didn't drive this road, but just reporting that the snow line starts at ~14km or ~1030m on this side. We could see from across the valley pretty cle...

Francis Bailey - Nov 08, 2025

Same condition as Jayden previously reported. The mini rock garden at the start had tons of water flowing over it. I think one could drive up to the l...

Francis Bailey - Nov 08, 2025

This section of road is extremely overgrown, but the road bed underneath is largely intact. I encountered one major washout with a 4x4 bypass and then...

Steep and loose rock with some small trees in the meridian and a few quite loose sections. Doable in a cross trek for sure

Steep but in good condition generally save for a few loose rocky sections. Easily doable on bike

Same condition as before! Locked gate isn't going anywhere anytime soon

Francis Bailey - Oct 26, 2025

Same conditions as before. No snow on the road just yet!

Francis Bailey - Oct 13, 2025

Same conditions as usual. Lots of water bars. High traffic road and lots of people going up to and coming down from Mount Cheam.

Francis Bailey - Oct 06, 2025

Great condition all the way up to the turn off for the old segment of road across the Stave. We only personally drove (or were driven) up to the 14.5k...

Gated at the start but did not walk beyond so cant speak to the conditions above

The road is in great condition all the way to the centennial trail at around 38km. A few potholes here and there, but easily driven by a 2WD car.

Francis Bailey - Sep 28, 2025

Getting a bit overgrown but generally in good shape save for the water bars. Easily done in a truck and probably doable in a cross trek

Francis Bailey - Sep 20, 2025

Same conditions as previously reported although theres one water bar thats been pretty chewed up. A cross trek can get through with a well chosen line...

Francis Bailey - Sep 20, 2025

Only drove a short distance. There’s one decent size water bar with a hidden rock that will hit your skid plate if you’re not careful. Over grown road...

Francis Bailey - Aug 31, 2025

Completely overgrown. I couldn’t even find the start of the road

Francis Bailey - Sep 13, 2025

This road would be drivable to the 1km mark if not for the big berm placed at the entrance

Same condition as Heath found it but beyond the hairpin it gets quite overgrown. There’s a big washout that might be drivable with a serious vehicle b...

Francis Bailey - Sep 13, 2025

Didn't drive but three trucks sped through this section pretty quickly from what we could see in the alpine.

Francis Bailey - Sep 01, 2025

There is some sort of drilling operation happening on the lower part of this road and so the road has been brushed and fixed up to about the 1300m mar...
