Washout at 1km is fixed but still rough. AWD with moderate clearance and careful driving in a Subaru. After this, road bed generally very good with some deep ish water bars but they are unmanageable going slow.
Gate is open, but proceed at your own risk, the sign says “gate locked any time!” Good condition driving until the intersection with the old SK1200, no clearance needed. Beyond this, there’s a tight section with alders & a few ditches, but we saw a truck on the other side that had made it all the way to the washout (marked on the “Upper” section of this road)
No significant change. Loose, rough and steep with water bars. HC 4x4 like a Tacoma will get to the usual parking. ATVs can go even further as an ATV trail had been built to cross that massive slide path.
