Road Description
New Borden FSR links up with the original Borden FSR at ~780m in elevation. It can be used to access the upper sections of Borden FSR now that the bridge is out on the original road. With a high clearance 4x4 one can drive to within a few kilometers of the summit of Mcguire
Road Bulletins
I found this road to be in relatively decent condition besides the washout. The road base was solid for the majority and the alder wasn't too scratchy. I didn't find the washout to be a major challenge however, it is certainly narrow. I don't see this washout posing a problem for a med clearance AWD vehicle if you take your time and maybe have a spotter.
As mentioned in other bulletins on Borden FSR, there's a large section of road that has washed away down a steep embankment. It's around 650m in elevation or ~3.5km in. There is more space on the road than first appears, but I had a spotter just in case. The road is low clearance 4WD up to this point, but you will need HC to get through after. I could foresee this section washing out permanently in the coming years if there's enough rainfall.
