Drove to near road end (~km 9) in a stock AWD SUV. Bridge over Commerce Creek at ~km 1 is removed and required a modest ford that might be trickier in...

Good shape, fast travel. Of note, after the junction with the McLatchie FSR (km ~26.5) the name changes to Harvey FSR,

Sections of substantial road-wide alders.

Mean alders. Hard going on foot.

Need a dozer to get through the 20' alders. Less than 500m an hour on foot.

Mountain biked the road after canoeing across to km23.5. Active use and freshly graded. One modest ford.

Launched a canoe from road's end. The last few hundred meters get rougher and look like they could be pretty soft if it was wet.

Road is in good condition, but some of the surface rocks are sharp--we got a flat.

First km was good to where I parked. Walked the next 700m or so which is increasingly grown in and has some rocky debris that would benefit from clear...

Drove the road to its end at the large drill site visible from satellite in a pair of stock SUVs. The reported slope failure at the start appears to ...

Took this road to its junction with a south trending spur. Easy travel conditions—2wd friendly for the section I drove.

Drove via the Leech FSR . A few washouts are starting, fine in a stock SUV for now but only a major storm away from being challenging.

Steven Noel - Jun 02, 2024

Good shape to the 1700m landing in a stock SUV via the Fir FSR (not digitized). A ton of spurs on these slopes so satellite imagery is helpful in gett...

Road is in good shape EXCEPT for the bridge being removed at 100.5km. Road is foot access only with a challenging ford from there--may be impassable i...

Parked near road terminus, a few water bars that benefit from moderate clearance.

Steven Noel - Aug 06, 2022

Good shape, a few small water bars.

Good shape, a few small water bars. Probably 2WD passable.

Steven Noel - Aug 06, 2022

Drove the road easily in 2WD to ~44km and turned onto the North White Swan FSR. Have previously (Aug 2019) connected the whole length to the Bull Rive...

Good condition lower down. Disuse becomes more apparent higher up until we turned around at a moderate washout around km 33.

Hiked the road over extensive blowdowns and marshes--maybe suitable for a mountain bike.

Steven Noel - Oct 31, 2021

Descended after coming up the Moyie FSR over the pass. Mostly good shape with a few potholes to dodge.

Steven Noel - Oct 08, 2022

Good condition lower down, gets rougher as you get closer to height of land in the 23-36km range. Managed in a stock Forester with slow driving and mo...

Good shape, a few potholes.

Steven Noel - Sep 25, 2022

Easy driving, a few potholes--well maintained.

Steven Noel - Jul 15, 2023

Managed in 2WD low clearance to parking at ~4.5km. Bridge decking is deteriorating and a few small water bars are present. Walked the last 1km to 5.5k...

Steven Noel - Jul 14, 2023

Road rehabilitated and closed in the early 2000s with several key bridges removed preventing even foot access up the valley. Gated and grown in as of ...

Fair condition (some rutted and muddy spots, recent logging) to ~km 7 and the termination of the active road at waters edge. Road turning and heading ...

Steven Noel - Sep 12, 2023

Relatively recent logging, some muddy and rutted spots. Passable in most vehicles with moderate clearance.

Steven Noel - Sep 12, 2023

Generally good condition (some potholes etc) except for the recent removal of a culvert over Caribou Creek (~km 40) requiring a modest ford in Septemb...

Steven Noel - Sep 12, 2023

Good condition to the major washout at ~11.5km. Major washouts at 11.5 and beyond render it impassable beyond this point, we continued by mountain bik...
