Hope Creek FSR

I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of Hope Creek FSR. I had always assumed this was a rougher road that was heavily overgrown, but it's not. ...

Roxey Creek FSR

No downed trees anymore and road went fine to the cabin at roads end. Up to KM3 the road is quite straightforward, with broad cross ditches that are e...

EM3000

I only hiked this portion of the road after parking at the start. Massive cross ditches that simply weren't worth driving. There were a couple of giga...

The boulder is still there and I'm not sure it is moveable without heavy machinery. It must weigh several tons. That being said, you CAN drive around ...

S426

No change since Jeff's report. Road is in great shape and now snow free to over 1,100m.

Dipper Creek FSR

Road is in great shape to the S426 junction, any SUV should be fine. We did accidentally drive beyond the junction and encountered a small rock slide....

Tearse Creek FSR

Road is generally in good condition, the only challenge are the few switchbacks at the start, which are a little steep and rocky. Any SUV will be fine...

Harrison East FSR

I guess by BC standards the road is in good condition, but it is HEAVILY potholed and in worse shape than I've seen before. Slow and tedious driving i...

Bear Creek FSR

Bear Creek FSR was in good condition to the Mount McNair trailhead. Gate was open and road had been regraded. If anything this road is in better shape...

Hurley River Branch 12

The spur has plenty of cross ditches of varying sizes. All you need is good ground clearance. The road is never really steep or particularly rocky, no...

Spetch Creek FSR

This road was worse than I thought it would be, and whether you consider it heavily degraded or somewhat degraded is likely personal opinion based on ...

Phelix Creek FSR

Similar to Caro's report, the road has several waterbars of various depths. No issue at all in a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, but an SUV with less clearan...

This is known as the 10K Snowmobile Trail and is used for snowmobilers to access the 10K Recreation Hut in the winter. In the summer this is a driveab...

Paleface 2300

Snowline at 1,000m. Road is very rough with 20+ deep cross ditches to that point. Definitely need high clearance and ideally 4x4. Drove a Jeep Cheroke...

Jones Lake FSR

Road is now snow free. Heavily potholed but we saw a few 2WD's that made it up, though personally I would only bring an SUV on a road this rough. No c...

Can confirm the road is still washed out at ~750m with nowhere to turn around. There did seem to be tire tracks in the snow beyond though, so perhaps ...

Rutherford Creek 47-2 Spur

The road was snow covered for us either way, but hiking up you could easily see the road has been severely washed out a short way up.

We only drove the initial portion, a couple of hundred meters, but it was in good shape. This spur/bridge doesn't show on many maps at the time of wri...

We drove to the bridge over Rutherford Creek around 17km in and it was all in great shape, though very icy at the time we went. I wasn't driving but I...

Drove all the way to the Liumchen East 12000 spur just fine in a 4x4 with reasonable clearance (Jeep Cherokee). Lots of cross ditches but nothing huge...

Liumchen East 12000 Spur

We only hiked it while covered with a thin snow layer. Saw no issues that would prevent driving up in terms of the road. No overgrowth, no significant...
