Great condition honestly. I was in a 2009 Subaru Outback. Zero issues. Some kind souls have cut all the down trees just wide enough. I moved one small boulder out of the way and otherwise made it through. I tried to tow some trees clear of the road but no dice.... highly recommend a chain saw or at least a wood hand saw + gloves in case you get treed in.

GORGEOUS drive, really. 1 tiny wash out. Great rec / pull outs for swimming the whole way up to Monroe Lake. Photos are in the 25 – 70 km range. The first 30 clicks (from the south end) are definitely better, more shale in the middle, but still very flat with minimal large pot holes, and some VERY flat open sections in the middle where decent speed is safe.

Similar conditions to what Steven Noel mentioned, we saw recent cuts on some downed trees but still had to pull the chainsaw out numerous times so expect a few downed trees especially if you go early season, some bypassable avy debris around 30-35km but impassable size 2-3 avalanche debris around 75km in, we got stopped by snow coverage 71.5km in but it will melt out fast, the avy debris could be another story, flowing water on the road at the 72.5km mark

Some pretty nasty potholes in the upper sections, and one area where water has flowed down the road (currently no flow) but could be driven in almost any vehicle if you are willing to take it quite easy.

Road was clear and could have mistaken it for HYW 3 it was that smooth. No more boulder on the road.

The bull either continues to the wardner-fort Steele road or to the Galloway mill at highway 3 depending on which route you want to take! It both says bull river fsr on the map.
