Road Condition Updates
Oct 1 Update
I’ve heard lots of comments about how rough the Hurley is lately and this latest update from Charles confirms it! Did a day trip to Gun from Pemberton Sept 29. There was a grader parked just after the forestry bridge, not sure if he was starting or finished, the flats were reasonable, switchbacks were lightly…
September 16 Update
The Hurley is reported to be rough on the hills. A vehicle lost it’s load about 2km after the steel bridge, Gold Bridge bound so watch for debris on the road. Several people have commented on the amount of 2 wheel drive cars on the road. The popularity of Semaphore Lakes is likely contributing to…
August 23 Update
Update on Hurley maintenance from Sal Demare. As some have seen the hill coming up from the Lillooet FSR and the hill going up from Gold Bridge have been graded. Due to unforeseen circumstances Bridge River Valley Mechanical was not available to grade this month, so the Ministry filled in with another contractor. The Ministry…

Driving with Moose
Thanks to Ian and Beth for sharing their story and video. We hope it will be a learning experience on how to share the road with moose and other wildlife. Driving to Pemberton yesterday we were behind a vehicle that was following a moose and running it down the road. The moose would not get…

Hurley Road Snow Update
Thanks to Conny for sending in this update on the road conditions. I flew over the Hurley yesterday. If you are thinking of sledding across, heads up, there is about 1-3 km of open gravel just north of the Hope Creek bridge. It is off and on dirt and snow from about the 15km bridge…

After all that rain the Hurley has a washout on the Pemberton side, about 7km up on the Lillooet River FSR. Thanks to Ray Mason for the update and photo. Kathy from Backcountry Snowcats sent in some more photos.
