Road Bulletins
Gate still open on Saturday Feb 10. Agree 4x4 is needed for deep cross ditches. Parked at 850m in an stock Xterra which was at its limit.
To touch on the last update from Justine, the gate at 4.25km's is still open. The waterbars are fairly aggressive so I would agree with what Justine said about long wheelbase's probably gonna be dragging bumpers. The ice storm a few weeks back dropped a few trees over the road right at the 6.7km left fork so we parked there. Only 500m distance to walk to get to the creek crossing if you don't bring a bow saw or chainsaw.
Road is newly built but has some cross-ditches for the winter. Low clearance vehicles and trucks with a long wheel base will likely get high-centered going through some of the cross-ditches. There's a gate at roughly 49.37669, -121.73063, that's open as of Dec 29, 2023.
I connected to this road via the slollicum trail from the 200 branch below. From where the trail intersected the road I could see an open gate a few hundred meters back. Snow started around 800m and was consistent by 850m. Larger cross ditches were present after about the 6.5km mark that would require a HC 4X4, but providing the gate is open you could drive all the way to where the trail to slollicum leaves the road and goes into the forest. A range rover was parked at the trailhead when we returned from the peak.
Connected onto this FSR via Slollicum Trail and walked it for ~2km to where the trail left the road. Road has seen some recent regrading and several new culverts installed, the section we walked is smooth as butter (except the last two culverts have yet to be installed). Saw no vehicles on the road or any signs of recent traffic, so presumably it's gated near the bottom. Didn't look like the new logging had started yet. Road would be driveable in a sedan if accessible, gravel bike would also be fine (MTB not needed). Depending on where the gate is, taking a bike and cycling the length of this FSR might be a faster way to access Slollicum rather than hiking from the bottom via full Slollicum Trail (connecting Slollicum Trail from lower road is not bike-friendly)... [Edit from Admin] - merged CB1100 Road into Slollicum Creek FSR based on road imagery. Bulletin applies to CB1100 which is now just the upper part of Slollicum Creek FSR
Likely going to be used for logging in the near future. I believe it is gated, probably near the start.
