We parked around 450m due to snowline. The gate was open but they have been plowing the road and fixing up portions of it to access new cutblocks. Sign saying gate can be locked after anytime. Photo attached. Where the map has the Impasse I honestly think most care are stopping abit before that. Most vehicles should be able to get to 8 or 8.5km. It is abit rough in spots but nothing wild.
Statlu Gate is open and no signs of logging yet this year. If they do start I'm sure they will lock the gate. We drove Honda CRV 9.5km and hit a washout before the marked impasse. 4x4 HC could get thru it but after that you won't get much further. It's in really good shape with only 1 culvert ditch and then 1 giant puddle mound. Medium clearance is fine.
Gate was open. Drove to the fork to South Statlu.
Washout at 9.5 km could be driven in a narrow, lifted Jeep or ATV. Might be possible in a Tacoma but did not try. Not worth driving further anyway.
[From Caro Coco] - There is normally a closed gate at the very beginning of Statlu, but the past few months it has remained open. it was a very smooth drive up until a bit past km 9, where I found what I thought was a deactivation at the time (it was dark). After parking and setting off, I realized that it was small washout that I probably could have driven over in the daylight with company, but oh well! There was another washout not very far in anyway, and the amount of road left would have been too narrow for the Tacoma.
