Drove in Suburu Crosstrek. Still in good condition until the narrow section down hill, where it gets a bit chunky. Better condition than West Harrison.
Good condition especially at the start. I think it starts to get rougher at around 7 km give or take. At the 7 km marker, there were large rocks on road from the cliff above to drive around. I'd recommend AT tires.
Wow this road is in excellent shape. I drove from km 0 to the intersection with Mystery Creek Branch 8100. In some spots I think you could mistake it for asphalt if you closed your eyes. Signs of active logging all along however didn't see any equipment on the weekend. There is a short no stopping section from 7-7.5 km due to the previous wildfire. The road in this section was a little rougher but still no problem in 2wd.
For access to statlu lake, we drove as far as the sharp hairpin where the road turns south. Road was in great shape. Low clearance car would be no problem
