Road Description
Access road to The Old Settler and Daiphy Lake area. The gate has historically been closed and required contact with the logging company to gain access. In more recent times it has been found opened or unlocked, but the timing of that is not certain.
Road Bulletins
Good condition, a low-clearance Subaru Impreza wagon didn't make it past the water bar mentioned in the previous report, which is around 2km before the turnoff for the spur to Old Settler. Water bar should be passable in any SUV or crossover even, other than that road is in good shape, although like Alex mentioned the are a couple spots (one in particular with a waterfall running over the road) where it could degrade quickly or wash out. No bush, so you won't get any pinstripes.
It appears the gate has been entirely removed, we did not encounter it. The road is currently in great shape and would probably be 2wd driveable to the old settler spur except for one minor waterbar. However there are a few active landslides and places where water flows over the road, so it could rapidly deteriorate over another winter or two
Posted on Elise's behalf: "road was unlocked and it was good up to the last little bit [before the trail up to Daiphy Lake]. [Sean] was able to drive his truck all the way to the end".
