Active logging, beware

Lots of Texas Culverts

lightly used, but in great condition

August 6 notice from Village of McBride says that the bridge at 2.1km is 0 load rated. No date known on when this might be addressed

Near to 80 heavy waterbars have been added recently from approximately 1k onward to the impasse. Some of the deeper water bars were challenging in a l...

Impasse has been filled, easily made it through with a stock 4runner and some momentum. Pin stripping gets bad near the top, if you care about this st...

The road is good to the Chain lakes trailhead. It is very steep in places so 4wd should be used. There are some new waterbars since last September so ...

2 notable washouts, first at ~4.5 km and 2nd maybe another km past. If you can make it past the first one you can probably make it past the second as ...

4WD will have no issue getting to end of the road. AWD should be fine with good driver - there was a Subaru outback at trailhead. Some steep, rocky se...

[From Matt J] - Easy and smooth 4x4 to trailhead. Any seasoned mountain access driver could make it up here with 2wd. But 4x4 is nice as there are som...

Drove all the way to the top (1300m) in a stock 4runner didn't use 4-low until the last few switch backs. Great views of Pyroclastic Peak.

Drove all the way to the top (1300m) in a stock 4runner didn't use 4-low until the last few switch backs. Great views of Pyroclastic Peak.

Medium sized water bars, lots of small plants growing in the centre. no real pinstriping though, and nothing most crossovers can't handle. road goes b...

Good expect for moderate water bars, some of which are off-angle meaning one might lift a tire, and one or two of which are slightly washed out, but s...

Road is in good condition, steep in places and has lots of drainage ditches. AWD or better recommended. A 2wd could make it but make sure you have a b...

Road is managed by the province. Good shape from Blairmore to the Carbondale River

This is the trail up to the "Promised Land", also known as "7 Bridges Trail". Expect ATV traffic and 7 crossings of Ptolemy Creek (no bridges).

[From Lis M] - Quick condition update since there’s some decent info on the area. The road is in excellent conditions, any car can make it up there bu...

Bridge at 2km mark is reportedly back in and road is AWD condition up to Bierman Creek (~8km)

Not a ton to add on top of Anton's nice report. The road is quite rough with TONS of alder. It is seriously bad, I really think this road will be lost...

Just drove past on Bench road. They were actively logging at the time and it was a mud pit, however no gate at either end was seen.

I drove this road in a BMW 3 series without issue. I particularly remember KM2.25 to 3.25 or the straight stretch being smooth as new pavement.

On this day I only drove from KM 0 to Foley Creek FSR or 2KM. The road is in good condition in this section with only some small potholes to dodge. As...

Presumably active logging up this spur. Foley Creek FSR was graded up to this point, and had a shut gate at the very beginning.

This road is based on my observations up to Williamson Lake FSR or 4.75km. This section of the road is in pretty rough condition. Insane number of pot...

closed "due to fire risk"

Completely overgrown

Impassable to cars (a few washouts, fridge-sized boulders), but passable on foot with only minimal alder at the very end of the road

Active logging on road. Gate wide open. No boulders on road. All bridges passable.

Road is blocked just after the bridge but that’s to put in brand new culverts. I expect the road to be fully drive able in the next week or so. It’s b...
