2 deep but wide ditches. SUV minimum, don't think this would be doable in a sedan
Sean Caulfield - Nov 10, 2024Great condition, 2wd ok. No active hauling today (Sunday before Remembrance Day)
Sean Caulfield - Nov 10, 2024The KM markers run the opposite direction to this site, tried to use this road as a shortcut to Sombrio but after crossing a couple small easy slides ...
Sean Caulfield - Nov 10, 2024In no way is this spur "2wd friendly", 4x4 with 4-low recommended although an aggressively driven AWD may make it up, might have to stack rocks at the...
Sean Caulfield - Nov 10, 2024Well graded dirt road, the Rec sites are reachable in almost any vehicle, RVs even.
Sean Caulfield - Oct 14, 2024Road is in good condition, gets slightly rougher after KM3 with some tiny waterbars that are more like speedbumps. I'm fairly confident you could driv...
Sean Caulfield - Oct 05, 2024Road is deactivated with deep trenches every 50-100m. Passable with a quad bike or dirt bike or I suppose an extremely narrow short wheelbase lifted 4...
Sean Caulfield - Oct 05, 2024Wide graded road, no issues beyond maybe a pothole or two to at least Shovelnose Lookout Road.
Sean Caulfield - Oct 05, 2024Narrow & a little steep, some rock showing in at least one spot but overall not too challenging.
Sean Caulfield - Oct 05, 2024Good condition until the last switchbacks where there is some exposed rock. Nothing crazy, just need a bit of clearance but there is a steep dropoff s...
Sean Caulfield - Oct 05, 2024A few potholes but otherwise good condition to Gil Lake. I think it was slightly narrower/rougher beyond to where I parked for Missezula Mountain but ...
Sean Caulfield - Oct 05, 2024Tried to connect to Highway 5A using this road having driven over from Hornet Lake side, road was in good shape higher up but getting closer to the hi...
Sean Caulfield - Oct 05, 2024Deep cross ditches, connection to good road above is extremely narrow. HC 4x4
Sean Caulfield - Oct 05, 2024Did not travel but met some hunters who mentioned this road was no problem in their Subaru Outback Wilderness.

Sean Caulfield - Oct 05, 2024Accessed from Hornet Lake side, road was well graded & in good condition. Met some hunters camped around KM4 - they were driving a Subaru Outback Wild...
Sean Caulfield - Oct 05, 2024Not as bad as I expected, no major issues reaching Williamson Lake trailhead. I stopped to assess my line twice, once around ~850m where there was a l...
Sean Caulfield - Sep 21, 2024Ok in crossover to Foley Lake - a bit rocky & potholed but saw Nissan Rogue & Qashqai had made it. After this road gets very narrow & there are large ...
Sean Caulfield - Sep 21, 2024Same condition as Heath's report, I'd just add that about 400m from the driveable end there is a "shooting gallery" with a big plywood sheet & target,...
Sean Caulfield - Sep 08, 2024First 500m ok with 2wd, AWD/2WD should park here. At KM1 there is a hill (10-12° steep) with some big dips & bumps. 4-lo recommended. A Ford Bronco di...
Sean Caulfield - Sep 08, 2024KM0-2.5 is graded smooth, passable in any vehicle. Did not travel remainder of road.
Sean Caulfield - Sep 08, 20241st kilometer of this road is definitely not "impassable", I used to connect to Chilliwack Lake Road coming from "Little Tamahi 1000"
Sean Caulfield - Sep 08, 2024Vedder Mountain Road was closed for construction at the Cultus Lake roundabout so I used this to connect to Chilliwack Lake Road. Frequently travelled...
Sean Caulfield - Sep 08, 2024Drove this spur for a short distance to access Mount Sampson. Initially bushy but opens up, roadbed was ok. Suggest investigating alternate start if h...
Sean Caulfield - Aug 31, 2024Washed out culvert near the start, easy bypass on upstream side for now but may get worse after rain. Extremely overgrown (I'm talking 6' alders growi...
Sean Caulfield - Aug 31, 2024Did not find the first couple kms particularly challenging. Washout at 3km has not been fixed but it's still passable for now (see pics). May get wors...
Sean Caulfield - Aug 31, 2024Paved to Cascade lookout, extremely smooth dirt after that to the top (which is over 2,000m!) - fine for any vehicle. There was an open gate above Cas...

Sean Caulfield - Aug 17, 2024One medium sized water bar near the start then it's a bit rocky but no trouble in a truck. Could probably drive an SUV up it if you really wanted to. ...
Sean Caulfield - Aug 17, 2024In good shape & easily passable to KM2, then a bit overgrown for ~1km, then heavily overgrown with washouts, alder, bushwhacking. Some views from cutb...

Sean Caulfield - Jul 21, 2024Well maintained gravel road, this is the main access to Winter Harbour

Sean Caulfield - Jul 24, 2024Should be ok in most vehicles to Miner Lake Rec Site, after camping there we drove (rwd Nissan NV2500 high roof camperized van with A/T tires) to arou...
Sean Caulfield - Jul 27, 2021Easily drove to the end, did not find the washouts to be particularly challenging or sketchy. Maybe they have been improved since previous reports? SU...
Sean Caulfield - Jul 05, 2024In good condition to the junction before KM3.5 where I turned left leaving this road. Did not explore beyond. Thanks to Andrew for clearing the trees ...
Sean Caulfield - Jul 05, 2024Gate open despite old sign stating that it would be locked at 3pm daily (I passed through well after 3pm). Couple of spots where there has been some m...
Sean Caulfield - Jul 05, 2024Minor mudslide at 650m passable by any vehicle with half decent clearance (crossover should be ok). Major washout at KM1 - steep rocky creek at a shar...
Sean Caulfield - Jul 29, 2023Road condition described very well in the last report from Heath, it was no problem in my truck through the first washouts but SUVs would struggle I t...
Sean Caulfield - Jun 09, 2024One short steep rocky section where you'll want at least an AWD with some clearance, otherwise in good condition.
Sean Caulfield - May 25, 2024Drove as far as KM35.75. Road is in good shape for the most part except it crosses many many areas exposed to rockfall & landslides from above. The ro...
Sean Caulfield - May 20, 2024Drove until KM16. The first 13km were recently graded & smooth, road passes through some ranchland. Cows on road at KM3 & horses at KM12. KM13-16 not ...
Sean Caulfield - May 18, 2024Followed this road to KM12.4, decent enough condition. Probably doable in a crossover, definitely no problem in a truck.
Sean Caulfield - May 18, 2024Drove from Pavillion-Kelly Lake, some prohibitive signage at the start which I ignored as this is a public road as far as I know? Another sign a few k...
Sean Caulfield - May 19, 2024Wide dirt road, some potholes but nothing very challenging. Ok in almost any vehicle

Sean Caulfield - May 12, 2024Did not travel but met a couple of modified Jeeps who had used this road to join "Hallowell" just before the big switchback at El. 590m
Sean Caulfield - May 12, 2024Impassable washout at KM4.8 (road is eroded to about the width of a quad bike). Aggressively-driven AWD SUV can likely make it to the previous switchb...
Sean Caulfield - May 12, 2024Quite narrow but if you've made it this far should be no problem. Small turnaround area at the lake

Sean Caulfield - May 04, 2024Attaching a pic of the start of the road - narrow but roadbed looks okay, not totally overgrown.
Sean Caulfield - May 04, 2024I expect this road may be closed to the public very soon. First few KM have been graded so smooth they might as well be paved, I think this is to get ...
Sean Caulfield - Apr 20, 2024Agree with the last report, any SUV should make it but I'd recommend decent tires as well as a full size size spare and tire repair kit as it >30km ba...

Sean Caulfield - Apr 13, 2024Walked 4.5km portion from Widgeon Creek Camp to just after it crosses Widgeon Creek (Fools Gold route). In good shape for biking, hardtail or better r...
Sean Caulfield - Mar 24, 2024Road was plowed to the parking lot by the pipeline crew (they have a worksite halfways up). Steep enough in a couple spots to warrant chains if condit...
Sean Caulfield - Jan 07, 2024Decent condition with some potholes to KM25 which was as far as we drove. Averaged 30-45kph in mid-size truck, sedans etc. would need to take it slowe...

Sean Caulfield - Jan 06, 2024Seriously overgrown but roadbed in good condition. Probably possible to drive in SxS, ATV or smaller 4x4 if you don't mind pinstripes/scratches. I jus...

Sean Caulfield - Oct 28, 2023Likely going to be used for logging in the near future. I believe it is gated, probably near the start.
Sean Caulfield - Oct 28, 2023Narrow, rocky and steep with some decent waterbars to Slollicum TH. Connecting trail to CB1100 is not bike-friendly.
Sean Caulfield - Oct 28, 2023Driveable to the large "U" with 2wd (~800m from East Harrison FSR), most vehicles should make it here and there's space to park. After this the spur t...
