Road Bulletins
Great shape throughout (Ravenshead to Palliser). Rode on bike. Reported poor conditions from August 2025 around Fenwick (north to Palliser) have been fixed up.
Mostly in good shape, but deep ruts in sand/silt around Fenwick Creek and towards its junction with the Palliser. Easy enough going with moderate clearance, but low clearance vehicles will likely have some problems getting high centered. Lots of active logging and associated traffic.
