Road Bulletins
This road is kinda rough, but nothing to stop a crossover type vehicle up to the Slesse memorial trailhead. The first KM or 2 is smooth, put pothole ridden. Expect some slow and bumpy sections due to loose rock as well as a couple large puddles. Plenty of parking at the Slesse trailhead.
After the trailhead is where it gets nasty. There isnt anything particularly challenging its just pretty rough. The first 500m or so is like driving up a riverbed. Large rock make for a really bumpy and slow drive. After this its followed by thick alder, then to finish it off another short riverbed section. I parked at the intersection with NE1200 where there is an opening with parking for 4 vehicles easily. I did not notice any good place to pull over and park between the Slesse trailhead and where I parked. So if you decide to go up this way you pretty much have to all the way to where I did.

Drove to about the 7km mark well past the slesse memorial trailhead. Road after the slesse trailhead is heavily eroded and requires 4wd HC. Theres an opening to park/easily turn around at 7km where the road branches again.
[From Sheri Cormier] - road is driveable all the way up to the slesse memorial trail head. Minimal snow visible on the road.

The road is in great condition and easily driveable to the 5.8km mark. There is one big water bar about 2-300m before the road ends, so one could park there if there vehicle was not able to make it through.
Made it up to Slesse / Nesakwatch trailhead in an SUV and saw other small low clearance vehicles parked just before the last washout. Road is in pretty good condition and seems to have been recently repaired.
