Road Bulletins
Some nice person cleaned up all the trees across the road. I parked at 2.8 km due to increasing pinstriping.
Good condition if you can get this far apart from the giant hole in the road at ~3.5km
Many downed trees between branch and 0.5km, impassable. Need a chainsaw to clear
Drove this to the junction with Branch 276 and parked - there's plenty of room there to turn around. Walked the rest of the way to the Chance Lake TH, which didn't take too long. The roadbed is rocky, but has held up well despite the lack of water-bars. The bush, however, is really growing in, so turning around would be very difficult except in a couple of spots. If you care about your paint, forget about it... There is a collapsing bridge just after the final switchback. Somebody drove across it in a Tacoma, but what's left is quite narrow and a bit frightening due to the degradation and adjacent hole. I'd not recommend it.
Walked this road to Cloudburst. Totally drivable, some ice near the top (bring chains)
