Some moderately deep water bars and some bushy sections, but nothing crazy.

Don't think there's been any change to the actual road condition, but changing status to "Somewhat Degraded" to more closely match the definition. Yes...

All clear. No snow. Just some puddles.

Kelly Wilson - Nov 23, 2025

No change from previous report, other than some snow coverage. We were able to drive to ~ 8 km (~ 1475 m elevation) before the snow became too deep. ...

Large cross ditches but otherwise easily drivable to 770 m.
I parked before a more eroded cross ditch. Not much point driving further as the road is ...

In good shape. Evidence of recent logging near end.

No change from previous reports. Road is very smooth for maybe the first 8-10 kms then gets a little rougher in places but should be drivable in most ...

Road was in good shape if I remember correctly. Evidence of active logging just beyond the lakes.

Didn't from the start (Port Mellon side); came from B&K (Roberts Creek) and joined at ~ 8.5 km and drove to the spur at 6 km. This section is in good ...

Great condition. Any car can drive up this.

Used as a connector to Ault. Was bushy and kinda rough but otherwise fine.
Would not recommend this approach to Ault though.

A little bushy and a little eroded/loose in places, but most vehicles should have no trouble.

There is one slightly eroded section immediately after the junction at 5 km, but most any vehicle should have no trouble.

Mostly good shape. Not bushy.
But the cross ditches are brutal: not especially big but harsh/sharp. High clearance probably required.

In great shape as far as East Hope Creek junction (just past 7 km).

Kelly Wilson - Sep 07, 2024

No major washouts or obstacles but too overgrown to be driven by anything larger than an ATV (beyond first ~ 100 m).

No change from previous report. Road still is good shape except for some pot holes and a minor washout ~ 1.5 km before the Whitecap trailhead spur.
