Road Bulletins
Canfor is very busy in the Alexander drainage this year, so the road is in the best shape I have ever seen it. Drove to 18.5 km (close to the end). A new road has been built at this point, and heads left. Gates are open and bridges have been upgraded.
Drove the road to its end at the large drill site visible from satellite in a pair of stock SUVs. The reported slope failure at the start appears to have been cleared up. The second of a pair bridges across Alexander Creek (west to east) has fairly rotten bridge decking with a couple decent sized holes you can see through, but the underlying timber SEEMS good. After the junction heading up to Racehorse Pass the road becomes much rougher with lots of toaster sized rocks that made for slow going the ~5km to the well pad. Past this the road becomes the Soap Creek Trail, though the couple km we walked on it didn't seem materially worse than the few km before the pad.
This is the Alexander Creek FSR (it continues to its conclusion at the old well pad at 49.806399,-114.707570). Drove road to the end to climb Secord and Erris S3. There is a horrendous retrogressive slope failure right at the start that is a going concern, but if you move the rock fall you may be able to get a LC vehicle up the road to the bridge at 14KM (there is a seasonal gate here, but it seems arbitrary when it is locked vs not locked). It is HC 4x4 beyond the bridge to the roads end at ~18 km from HWY-3. This road/valley has a very confusing access management plan.
