I think some 4x4's went thru about 2 weeks ago. They said they aired down and drove on top of the hard snow.

thx Twisted. im gauging by the raving responses as nope, haven't been there haven't done that, and consider the road perhaps impassable, at this time...
though perhaps there were raving responses on the dark side.. can the dark side even, see us??... hah.

@Rustic will test it on Friday for Too Long Days, then we shall know.

Otherwise I don't think anybody on two adventure wheels have been trough.

We went trough on Too Long Days ride (beginning of June) and there was barely any snow. So it's passable.

What is this route like with regard to skill level/ technical level. We're a couple of old farts on 800s loaded with camping gear etc and want gravel but in the very low end of the challenging range.

Have not been up this year, but most riders find this a challenging route but I have never seen anyone turn around once the route is passable. Once at Kookipi pass it is usually good FSR and improves the whole way down to Boston Bar.

East Harrison is just an FSR, Kookipi on the other hand will have some rocky sections and water bars (?!), this video should give idea more or less. Challenging is very relative term and you can always turn around if you feel like it's not something you want to tackle and relax by Harrison Lake, assuming you are not doing it on weekend as it's probably super busy on weekend

Thanks for the video, totally answers my question. Yup we'd do it on smaller bikes without a doubt, just getting too soft for these bikes loaded. Thanks so much for your reply.
