Good shape as part of the Beaverfoot connector. Unsure how it fairs on its upper branches.

Good shape, active maintenance.

Steven Noel - Aug 18, 2025

Good shape to the bridge over Moose Creek. Moose Creek approaches have been improved sine 2023 so perhaps they logged up there recently. Ditches have ...

Decent shape, some water bars. One section around km3 is threatening to erode down the slope. Quite aldery looking after the junction at ~3.75, but wo...

Usual fast shape to Bush Harbour (km 43) then narrower but still good to the Sullivan junction (61.5). At ~km 63, shortly before the Valancienne River...

Steven Noel - Aug 18, 2025

Good shape (pot holes) to the first major creek where a large debris has covered the road. Would likely be challenging without high-clearance 4WD. Jus...

Good shape for the short ways we drove it. Bridge is in.

Steven Noel - Aug 22, 2025

Appears more like a quad track after the first junction.

Steven Noel - Aug 22, 2025

Generally good shape, getting a little rougher towards the end of our travel. Stopped at the branch that has been used to access Iconoclast Mt.

Drove with some waterbars and significant bushes in the road to the main hairpin which I did not attempt. Looked similar above.

Steven Noel - Aug 21, 2025

Good shape with a few rocky spots and small waterbars to the last Y-junction, then an easy walk or challenging drive to what I believe is the start of...

Did not attempt but looked more like a quad trail with alders encroaching heavily from both sides.

A little rough but drivable to the Fairy Meadows (Bill Putnam) hut trailhead.

A little rough in spots, fine with an AWD SUV.

Steven Noel - Aug 21, 2025

Decommissioned, torn up.

Steven Noel - Aug 21, 2025

Good condition to km ~km 64 then it appears to have been decommissioned and ripped up by a dozer hook.

Steven Noel - Aug 21, 2025

Generally good shape to its end at the lodge, a few potholes and small rocky sections. Active military training operation ongoing when we were there b...

Steven Noel - Aug 21, 2025

Good condition to the logging landing, pretty marginal looking beyond.

Steven Noel - Aug 20, 2025

Went a small ways. Some new growth scratching the undersides.

Steven Noel - Aug 20, 2025

Generally good shape but getting brushy between the wheel tracks and a few modest waterbars in the upper sections.

Steven Noel - Aug 20, 2025

Generally good shape, with some muddy spots and ruts in the active cutblocks around km 10 (road numbers start from the bridge over the Sullivan River)...

Steven Noel - Aug 20, 2025

In excellent shape except for a few small ruts that can be avoided. Bridge over Caribou Creek has been replaced. Active road maintenance occurring due...

The km 6.3 washout has been cleaned up some but still presents a rocky ford. From there easy travel to the major washout at km 11.5.

Steven Noel - Aug 19, 2025

Labelled the Glacier FSR, presumably due to its great views of parts of the Columbia Icefield. Surprisingly good travel to the upper recent cutblocks....

Steven Noel - Aug 19, 2025

Good shape to its end in a logging landing.

Steven Noel - Aug 19, 2025

Drove the road marked drainage here. Road was starting to deteriorate here but looked drivable farther if you wanted (4WD) or an easy hike or bike. Th...

Steven Noel - Aug 18, 2025

As it was in July, though some evidence of recent clearing of debris. Perhaps plans for a new cut block up here?

Steven Noel - Aug 19, 2025

Good shape to the recent (2023) cutblock. Nothing worth driving beyond that--hiked the road until it died in alders then bushwhacked to gain the Alexa...

Steven Noel - Jul 01, 2025

Rocky along the canyon section (km 4-6) requiring some clearance and moving rocks. This section of the road will fall into the canyon below one of the...

Steven Noel - Jul 01, 2025

Got dropped by boat at the head of the Wood Arm then walked the road which looks very 2WD passable to its end in fresh cut blocks. Flagging at the end...
