road was alright aside from an embankment that is bypassed at 3.5ish k, I didn't attempt the switchbacks to the top

Came down from Meadow Dome summit on 8/24/2025 and found this road to be newly graded to about 2800 feet at the hairpin at 50.200, -122.438. Still ne...

Road was open on Monday Labour Day long weekend. There is sign that there are closures Mon to Fri, during regular work hours (forgot the exact times)....

Easy 2WD-able the first few KM at least - likely the whole way

Well graded and easy 2WD travel on the main!

Backdated report from Aug. Insanely buff, like 4 lanes wide at the start, gravel highway all the way to the Cariboo River bridge turnoff. Watch for tr...

From 10 km to 8 km very rough sharp rock surface, no gravel, expect tire punctures.
4.5 km to 4 km steep narrow hill with broken asphalt / sharp rock...

Getting close to "somewhat degraded" conditions with lots of waterbars of various depth.
Small rockslide close to the end - was easy passable in Taco...

Large two ditches within the first 300m.
For the hut access, better to use newer Snowspider spur.

Same conditions as the last year - drivable to the end, 4x4 helps with the ditches.

All bridges out. Worth bringing a bike up for the way down but expect some walking.

A bit rough with some wet and rutted spots in its upper sections.

Decommissioned with large berms constructed. Open to OHV traffic, fine for biking.

Active logging near km 12, but the road has been well maintained from the Bull River side. A bit rougher with some ruts going down towards Hosmer.

Some pretty nasty potholes in the upper sections, and one area where water has flowed down the road (currently no flow) but could be driven in almost ...

A bit rough, but easier than the ford to access it.

Good shape, with one rocky ford (dry in late August, somewhat steep entry/exits). 2WD may struggle here.

Good shape. Bypasses the washouts and missing bridge on the Old Cross.

Of note, km 18-21 now signed as Old Cross FSR, with the main Cross being on the north side of the river. Bridge appears to be out at km 21.5, with a m...

Good shape. Signage at the mine entry indicates permission is needed to cross the mine property to access the upper reaches of the Mitchell FSR. Not s...

Some rocky sections early on, then a major washout that would require a rock-crawling rig (or a quad) at ~6.

A bit rocky and rough but fine with modest clearance. This appears to be the upper (newer?) trailhead for Ralph Lake.

Narrow and pin-stripey to the clearing at 0.5. Nothing resembling a road beyond that. This seems to be the lower trailhead for Ralph Lake.

Good shape to a modest washout around 15.5 that requires some clearance, then generally good with the occasional rocky or waterbarred section. The bri...

Good shape, a bit rocky.

Good shape, a bit steep in the switchbacks.

After the fork at 0.5km, the road is grass covered but surprisingly very smooth and easy going. Bridge is out at km3.

A few rough and rocky hairpins but otherwise mostly good. Stopped at the upper Queen Mary Lake trailhead. Doesn't look like the road is maintained bey...

Good shape, adequate for people to bring their horse trailers to the lower of the two trailheads to Queen Mary Lake.

There are about 600m (coming from the north) that are little more than a quad trail, quite heavily grown with alders. Considered trying to do a bunch ...
