Word on the street is that all washouts are clear and the route is now a dirt highway.

The washouts have all been filled and graded.

We did not go to Lytton as the ferry was out of service. Farp can give you some intel on the Lytton section. My understanding is there is one "feature" along that section.

Yeah, there is one washout that is a little troublesome but nothing that can't be ridden by an experienced rider. A noob, especially on a big bike will probably find it more than he can handle. But it's only about 15 yards and with 2 or 3 guys to help push you should be OK.

I'm still in but like I said before I will be at work till 3:30 tonight so I might miss breakfast cause I gotta ride out from Vancouver to Harrison. My only wonder is if my tank will be to small.. I'm gonna be on a 500exc and I haven't fitted a bigger tank yet so it's still the stock one. Will anyone have a fuel line (or I can even bring my own) I can borrow some gas with if need be? I'll owe you a beer and fill your tank when we get back to civilization haha

I'm sure I will be fine I'm just putting this out there as a possibility..

Do you have room for one more? I did this route last year and it was a nice ride. All the washouts in the videos were graded over.

The E Harrison to Lillooet is one of my favourite rides. Most has been covered in this thread, but I have just a small caution to add:
DOGS!! Last time I went through, there was a pack of semi ferall dogs that almost brought me down. Last km or so before the Lytton ferry, just at the end of a sunken lane with apple trees on both sides. Watch out.
HORSES!! About a 1/3 way between Lytton ferry and Lillooet, there is usually a herd, some will stand their ground and kick if you pass too close.
Ride safe

i'm good for 240 km on my 990 but still going to bring a 1 gallon Rotopax you are welcome to the fuel if need be. I don't think I'll need it.There also is a Husky right in harrison if you want to do a last minute top up.

Nice ride and weather. The road on Harrison East sure has been worked on. Logging and construction is on-going. They are even tunneling into a Mountain.


No bad spots at all. :(
