Easy driving to beyond Fire Spires turn off, but no longer maintained after around 16 km. Boulders and rocks on road, barely passible in a Tacoma. Seems to be relied on user maintenance
Some potholes and rough sections, but no major obstacles. There is active logging. A couple inches of icy snow that melted by the time we left 2 days later Saw a sign stating the road is closed in the spring (April 1 to June 1 I think?) due to grizzly bear activity
We were able to drive the ~11.7km mark where we parked before heading up to the Fire Spires. There was a bunch of logging occurring on the upper slopes above the road so presumably the road condition will remain usuable for the near future.
Road Conditions
Unknown
- Road condition is unknown
Good Condition
- Road is 2WD driveable in most cases or easily driven in a 4WD.
Somewhat Degraded
- Road has rough spots, water bars or moderate washouts and may require high-clearance 4WD
Heavily Degraded
- Road requires high clearance 4WD. There may be challenging washouts, dangerous sections or exceptionally deep water bars.
Impassable

Note that gates, avalanches and snow lines should not qualify a road as impassible.
