Road Bulletins

Great shape for the first ~40km or so, very good past that (i.e. first was actively being graded, last bit was 2wd-able, but more potholes and things ...

Road closed due to extreme fire danger.

Patrick Simpkins - Aug 27, 2025

No issues up to the Bannock Creak turnoff from Slocan City.

Stefan Feldmann - Aug 27, 2025

Great condition, some looser sections past the switchbacks at 6km but still 2wd passable.

Stefan Feldmann - Aug 27, 2025

Large washout berm on the road above the river ford. We had to build rock ramps to try and get over the off camber berm to descend out of the area. It...

The gate is occasionally open, that being said this area is dangerous for rock slides and has a history of major geological instability. There is deb...

Usual fast shape to Bush Harbour (km 43) then narrower but still good to the Sullivan junction (61.5). At ~km 63, shortly before the Valancienne River...

Hoping to drive on that FSR but a parked truck stopped us, they said the road is closed.

Leonardo Iezzi - Aug 24, 2025

Good shape (pot holes) to the first major creek where a large debris has covered the road. Would likely be challenging without high-clearance 4WD. Jus...

Steven Noel - Aug 18, 2025

Good shape for the short ways we drove it. Bridge is in.

Steven Noel - Aug 22, 2025

Appears more like a quad track after the first junction.

Steven Noel - Aug 22, 2025

Generally good shape, getting a little rougher towards the end of our travel. Stopped at the branch that has been used to access Iconoclast Mt.

Drove with some waterbars and significant bushes in the road to the main hairpin which I did not attempt. Looked similar above.

Steven Noel - Aug 21, 2025

Good shape with a few rocky spots and small waterbars to the last Y-junction, then an easy walk or challenging drive to what I believe is the start of...

Did not attempt but looked more like a quad trail with alders encroaching heavily from both sides.

A little rough but drivable to the Fairy Meadows (Bill Putnam) hut trailhead.

A little rough in spots, fine with an AWD SUV.

Steven Noel - Aug 21, 2025

Decommissioned, torn up.

Steven Noel - Aug 21, 2025

Good condition to km ~km 64 then it appears to have been decommissioned and ripped up by a dozer hook.

Steven Noel - Aug 21, 2025

Generally good shape to its end at the lodge, a few potholes and small rocky sections. Active military training operation ongoing when we were there b...

Steven Noel - Aug 21, 2025

Good condition to the logging landing, pretty marginal looking beyond.

Steven Noel - Aug 20, 2025

Went a small ways. Some new growth scratching the undersides.

Steven Noel - Aug 20, 2025

Generally good shape but getting brushy between the wheel tracks and a few modest waterbars in the upper sections.

Steven Noel - Aug 20, 2025

Generally good shape, with some muddy spots and ruts in the active cutblocks around km 10 (road numbers start from the bridge over the Sullivan River)...

Steven Noel - Aug 20, 2025

In excellent shape except for a few small ruts that can be avoided. Bridge over Caribou Creek has been replaced. Active road maintenance occurring due...

Steven Noel - Aug 20, 2025

The km 6.3 washout has been cleaned up some but still presents a rocky ford. From there easy travel to the major washout at km 11.5.

Steven Noel - Aug 19, 2025

Labelled the Glacier FSR, presumably due to its great views of parts of the Columbia Icefield. Surprisingly good travel to the upper recent cutblocks....

Steven Noel - Aug 19, 2025

Good shape to its end in a logging landing.

Steven Noel - Aug 19, 2025

Drove the road marked drainage here. Road was starting to deteriorate here but looked drivable farther if you wanted (4WD) or an easy hike or bike. Th...

Steven Noel - Aug 18, 2025

As it was in July, though some evidence of recent clearing of debris. Perhaps plans for a new cut block up here?
