Road Bulletins
We managed to drive my stock(ish) Tacoma (It's a bush truck I don't mind denting or scratching though), up to 1900m where we got stopped by snow. Above 1500m the road gets steeper and more rocky, but is passable to a good driver in something high that they don't really care about. Water has been running down the road in places, leaving large round rock and boulders on the road. Makes for a slow drive. I imagine I could have made it to the lookout without snow. ATV's can still drive higher than that though.
This FSR is signed "Green Mountain" at the Hurley, it was narrow, steep and rough but doable in Nissan Frontier - should be possible in most vehicles with ~8"+ clearance & decent tires I'd think. Cleared a couple of downed trees, there were two slightly sketchy off-camber sections, one with running water. We parked at the start of the ATV route, this is actually probably driveable for ~500m to the cutblock in a close-to-stock vehicle if you can get up the first steep bank but not really worth it. Patchy snow on the road started after the cutblock & where there was no snow there was a creek running in the roadbed. To drive to Green Mountain Lookout think you need a built rig or an ATV at this point.
