Road Bulletins
Easy driving until the E-300 branch. We were relieved to be back on this road at the end of the day!
We drove up to the fork with E700. The road is gradually degrading. In quite a few places the road was flooded due to failed creek crossings.
Previous bulletins are still accurate. Good condition.
Bridge CLOSED at 63km - sign states. Didn't drive that far to see.

Pretty much the same conditions as the Squamish Valley Road up to where you turn off.
Snow starts around 34km mark. Just had enough clearance in a stock Tacoma with skid plates, any lower and you'll be high centred on the snow between the tire ruts. No one has broken tracks past 53km. There's a couple smooth sections but I imagine the road might get pretty rough after the snow melts. Overall not horrible currently if you take it slow in the snow and use good line choice!
Good condition up to G-Main. Snow started around the 7km mark near the Maude Frickert falls. Very tracked out and easily driven though. Didn’t get beyond the turn off for G-Main but tracks did seem to continue on
Road appears to be in normal condition according to Oleg: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/activity-october-14-2024-c7502c5
Good condition until the G-main branch turnoff at 9.5km. There is a sign from BC wildfire saying not to go past 60km on this road.
I lost a Honda key at the Elaho River, around the 60 km mark
If anyone finds it, please let me know
Thanks!

[From Chaisson C Kroeker] - Didnt make it to Lava Camp, Elaho West Mainline was snowed in halfway, and Elaho Mainline had multiple small trees blocking the road.
So Since I couldnt get down, I went up the spur to get a view. Totally worth it.
Made it to ~37.5 km down Elaho Main before running into trees.

Road is pretty rough from Squamish River FSR to the bridge at G-Main. >>CAUTION at 50° 11' 16.01" N, 123° 22' 23.25" W , theres a pile of snow that looks like a bank, its blocking a hole in the ground just behind it.<< easy bypass beside it, but shouldn't fly up there. I didnt have marking tape with me to make it any more obvious.
Made it up to the 20K or so. Some snowy spots, but no problem in 4x4. Surprised to see recent plowing just before and then past the falls. Not sure why?
Drove about 1km past the E-200 branch. Snow starts immediately after the bridge and the road is not plowed. However, most of the snow is melted out. We only stopped because we didn’t feel like putting chains on a second time.
[From Tyler Ervs 4WDBC] - Able to drive up Elaho Mainline as far as 50°11'06.2"N 123°31'49.5"W before running into an excavator clearing out a washout. Large rocks and uneven surfaces were too much risk for clearance, even under my 1 ton on 35’s.
