As so often the case around here with recent logging ops, it's not really *degraded* per se, just extremely muddy; you could probably do most of this ...

Logged a few years back; this one is starting to grow some grass though the road is still essentially ok if your mud tolerance is high. Ditched off a ...

"Parkview" Rd. Must have run out of gods. You can indeed View the Park from here if you wish, though the fire tower is obviously better for it.

Logged recently; a new bridge just before the end suggests more to come. The 'degraded' section isn't really, just a little gully that's filled up wit...

The older part of this one is a bit wet but basically in good condition. Culverts cleaned out since last year, so drainage is a lot better.

Ditched off at the Zeus end.

This one is...Zeus Rd, I think? Someone was obviously feeling a bit lyrical, naming all the Thunder Mountain roads after ancient (mostly thunder) gods...

The road up to the lake proper is pretty good this summer despite a wet July; a little wet in spots today, but mostly because a big thunderstorm the n...

Once you get this far down into the forestry everything's rather bushy as it sees mostly just the odd ATV, mostly in moose-bothering season. There's s...

A couple more years of wear and most of the ditches aren't really a physical obstacle any more, having filled up or eroded away; they're just full of ...

Road itself (the first few kms of the old Monkman Hwy) unremarkable. After turning off to the blocks northwards a few modest old deactivation ditches ...

The lower part of Puggins Mtn Road. Not technically deactivated, but the numerous water bars cut across the road will make it inaccessible if you don'...
