Easy travel to Clayton Falls

Francis Bailey - Aug 12, 2024

Road has quite a few loose rocks and water bars, which are super easy in a truck but would probably be a show stopper for a low clearance car. Cross T...

Active hauling coming out of here for fire salvage logging. Road appears to be in good condition. One could bushwhack into Nirvana Pass from here

Francis Bailey - Aug 11, 2024

Great condition as expected since it services a number homes and White Saddle Air. Active hauling is occurring down this road from Hell Raving Creek

Completely overgrown

Road is blocked just after the bridge but that’s to put in brand new culverts. I expect the road to be fully drive able in the next week or so. It’s b...

Drove again a second time in one week… the road has been fixed up even further and is in 2wd condition (if you can get there)

Francis Bailey - Jul 27, 2024

Highway condition until Clear Creek after which there's loads of pot holes and rough sections.

Brand new road accessing a cutblock on the east side

Francis Bailey - Jul 20, 2024

This road appears to be actively getting repaired or just recently repaired. Some heavy machinery on the road and I wouldn't count on it being open on...

Francis Bailey - Jul 20, 2024

The washouts previously reported at around km 58 have been repaired and it's clear some machinery has been through to fix up some other spots. With th...

Decent conditions up to the Tyaughton Creek trailhead, but the road gets more worn down after that. Lot's of deep mud ruts pot holes and some tall veg...

Great condition up to the Mud-Paradise junction at 29.5km

Francis Bailey - Jul 13, 2024

Only drove from the Tyaughton Lake road junction to Mud Creek, but it was in great condition. Some cattle on the road to be mindful of.

Francis Bailey - Jul 13, 2024

Maintained road with frequent water truck applications as well to keep the dust down. I don't see this getting degraded ever

Francis Bailey - Jul 14, 2024

Major washboarding on the way into Gold Bridge, but otherwise good condition. Be prepared for your teeth to rattle in the final few kilometers

Francis Bailey - Jul 14, 2024

In amazing condition right now. Much better than the last time I drove, it was a bonafide highway.

Francis Bailey - Jul 14, 2024

Same shape as Heath's report. We decided to bike in just before the huge, partially filled in, ravine. Worth it to save the truck for another mission

Francis Bailey - Jul 14, 2024

Still in fantastic shape as per Heath's report although we only drove to the 8km mark

Francis Bailey - Jul 14, 2024

The road is in the same state as I reported last time only this time we did the last portion without snow cover. The final stretch after ~3.75km (wher...

Francis Bailey - Jul 14, 2024

Great condition the whole way and no major potholes or washboarding to deal with on this particular trip

Francis Bailey - Jun 23, 2024

This area has been heavily burned out from the Gun Creek Fire last year and the start of the road is quite degraded. I only drove up to the closure si...

Bridge is in over the unnamed creek at 500m. The road gets quickly overgrown after that. A TLH heli fuel tank exists at the driveable end. This seems ...

Francis Bailey - Jun 23, 2024

Good condition up to the bridge but did not drive beyond that. Some sections of road are bumpier around the gun creek fire zone but doable in a normal...

Francis Bailey - Jun 23, 2024

The road is totally blocked off

Francis Bailey - Jun 15, 2024

Driveable to the 5.2km mark where an unnamed creek has washed out a fair bit of the road. It appears that some work has been done to get ATVs over and...

Francis Bailey - Jun 15, 2024

A few water bars to contend with and one section were the road has begun to wash away a bit, but other wise the road bed is intact and in great shape....

Francis Bailey - Jun 15, 2024

Just drove the first 500m. In great condition overall with a bit of vegetation encroachment

Francis Bailey - Jun 15, 2024

Great condition to the 9km mark. I agree with Mike, the road is narrow in sections and a few spots would benefit from some clearance but overall I thi...

Francis Bailey - Jun 15, 2024

There is a massive rock slide or blockade almost immediately off the highway. Too big for any vehicle, but a dirt bike or e-bike could bypass it. I ca...
