Road Bulletins
Francis Bailey reported on: Nov 11, 2025
Only drove the first 500m or so and then walked to the 1.5km mark as the road was quite overgrown. Lots of tricky sections and one proper creek/washout that would be tricky to drive through

Planned to use this road to get to the ridge above, with the ultimate goal of reaching the microwave relay. We parked the truck at the start of the road and headed up. Our group of three found the road entirely overgrown. Along the way there were a few stretches of open ground - here we found mossy ground cover with wildflowers and tall grass, very pleasant. But much of the road was dominated by dense overgrowth and in some area thick, stands of unyielding hairy bush... barely penetrable. These sections have been marked impassable. Due to the density of overgrowth, with open patches being few, I would say the whole length of the road is not suitable for vehicles or any sort. Truck, ATV or Bike.

Walked the first 2km of this FSR (duplicated with American 2 which runs in reverse), it was buried under several feet of snow. First ~250m at the very least driveable to a cleared area, might possibly be driveable further after the snow melts but hard to know how the creeks would look. I'd expect BC pinstripes from alder at least.
