Another look at the steepest section below the lake

We found a nice parking spot part way up

Same condition as Heath reported. A stock Tacoma should be able to do this no problem, although we stopped just before the last steep section. Not much to add to what Heath wrote except the snow line was still above this road as of writing

49.11655, -120.48512 Coming down the washout.

Looking down, this is what the road is like from the bottom up to the washout.

Average road conditions after the washout up to the lake.

This road is pretty nasty. If you weren't deterred by the sign at the bottom you'll find a steep and very loose road. Washout near the top requires a HC4x4. if you drive up to here and aren't able to make it past, there isn't much if any room to turn around or park on the side. Past this the road gets easy, just a little muddy.

Found this video that shows off the road quite well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skByjr4vxKI
