Steep on both ends, Road degrades in the middle a bit, with muddy braided rutted parts in sections, But as we were traveling in dry conditions everything was just fine
Coming from Pavilion, good condition until the last hill before the summit which is slippery mud after the recent rain. Doable with 4x4 and decent tires.
Drove from Pavillion-Kelly Lake, some prohibitive signage at the start which I ignored as this is a public road as far as I know? Another sign a few km up which states it's a "public road through private property". Some steep sections & sharp loose rock in places so recommend decent tires but no major obstacles.
