Road Bulletins
Good condition past 18 km at least. The usual minor potholes. Quite muddy. Industrial traffic on a Sunday up to Kookipi. Looks like they're working all over the place. Probably towards the Fire Lookout, Log Creek, and Kookipi. 2 piles of dirt somewhere along the road narrowing to 1 lane. Bring a radio. Most of them are calling KMs, but I did meet one on the 5 km bridge that didn't. 8 km Apocynum Campground is no more. It's a boulder field. Looks like they're piling boulders by Log Creek, too. I didn't drive in to take a look, but you can see from the main FSR.
Great condition for the first few kilometers and then it's potholes all the way to kilometer 21. Not very pleasant to drive at the moment. Beyond kilometer 21 it's all of the same obstacles as before. We walked past the landslide at kilometer 41 and there's an ATV bypass being built. However, the bridge has been pulled at the creek at kilometer 42 and there's another ATV bypass that looks to be in disuse. This road is not long for this world in my opinion.
[Kylie R] - there’s a deep snowy track to grizzly falls at the moment
Good condition to 21km as described by Kris. The first 4x4 section isn’t bad but there’s a worse one about 1km after and high clearance is a must. After that there’s a few more obstacles and one very narrow section of road, but it’s otherwise fairly smooth sailing to Grizzly Mainline. There is a major landslide at the 41km and the road is no longer accessible beyond. Could not get into see if the bridge is out over Whistlepig creek but based on satellite images and other reports it has been pulled.
Great shape up to km 21. Active logging, watch for trucks. Km 21 has a bit of an obstacle "4x4 only" (bit bumpy on the approach, a creek crossing, 2' rise out on the far side). Didn't go further.
[From Andrew Enns] - no snow on road and easily driven to Kookipi junction
Washout at 21km has long since been repaired and drivers are regularly making it to Grizzly Falls at around the 41km mark. See: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4wdabc/permalink/10159835244771009/ for more. Sean Reilly also reports: "Nahatlach was repaired enough to get access to the cabins. The road beyond is passable, but involves a slightly tricky water crossing, some snotty sections, and some minor rockfall and edge failures in the narrow section around 26-28km. "
[From James Wilson] - drove from Kookipi side and headed east. Conditions out from this point were great. Can’t speak to conditions west of Kookipi
