Description

A hyrdo project resides at the end of this road as well as a pumice mine, indicating access should remain in relatively good shape for the future. However timing the gate is often tricky.

9 km and 17 km gates open. Corrected location of both gates. Good condition to Man Mainline. Impassable after except bikes due to lock blocks. First 9 km had some washboarding. After, a few sections with some minor rockfall. Had to clear one section near the end as my Pilot would've hit them. Hard to snap the lock blocks to the right spot and GPS wasn't accurate under the tree canopy.

Good road conditions. Made it about 1.5km past the hydro dam in a Subaru Crosstrek with crappy tires (no flats). Turned around due to snow in an avalanche chute. All gates opened, all bridges in good condition!

9 km gate closed. Pretty good condition. Some minor potholes. No washboards. One or two slightly rougher sections, but not really an issue.

I called ahead to check that the gates were open and otherwise no problems. There’s a few wash board sections up to the Hurley turn off and the rest is in immaculate condition

Drove Upper Lillooet until ~1km from Keyhole. Ran into snow at this point, drivable w/ a Jeep but slow going. Will be all melted out very soon. Grading going on near the beginning and roadside brush clearing being done near the Boulder creek hydro site. In very good condition

New gate at around 17 km open . Otherwise cruise to 49 km in 2WD conditions. Note that somewhere around 40 km do not follow Gaia’s map but stick to the mainline.

[From SouthChilton.ca] - the road is washed out at the 5km mark after the heavy flooding. This is before the Hurley River FSR turn off and so the Hurley is not accessible at the moment. Repair time is unknown, but there are hyrdo projects further up river so it will likely be repaired once the flooding subsides.

[From Laurent Schoenacker] - road was in good condition up to the north creek area at kilometer 17. However, on my way back I came across the gate to access the lower lillooet fsr at the hurley junction being locked! I was trapped! The sign said road closed due to flooding but i did not see any sign of flooding . Luckily some truck showed up and had the means to open the gate and get us both out.
