Great to see the Goat Mountain Produce Stand is open! They have brand new potatoes, beets, zucchinis & greens available. This is the 12th year the family run stand has been open. Bring cash and stock up on Pemberton farm fresh veggies! Thanks to Sal Demare for the latest Hurley maintenance update from BJ Moore,…

Thanks to Marty M for the update on the fire: I was coming over the Hurley on Monday and got a good drone shot of the fire burning past Donnely Creek to Lone Goat. Talked to the fire crew from Lillooet. It’s a remote fire, they are setting up defense points in creeks along the…

Thanks to Debbie Demare for the latest update: Today’s trip was 1.5hrs from Gun Lake to downtown Pemberton. The road has been graded Gold Bridge side to the summit and the Pemberton side has started. Lillooet FSR was just graded. This site is based on Hurley driver updates so please email new road conditions to…

Thanks to Sal DeMare for passing on this great news from BJ Moore, District Engineering Officer for Cascades Natural Resource District. We have received $80,000 for the hauling/placing of the crush on the Hurley. I’m working with my counterpart on moving this forward this summer. We are also looking at creating parking spaces at the…

Thanks to Chuck for the latest update. Came down the Hurley this morning (June 2) from Bralorne via the E Hurley.  The East Hurley is rougher than usually due to the logging that’s taking place along it, but the sight lines have improved due to the same clearing trees and brush along the way. Once…

Thanks to Debbie for the latest update: Nothing notable on the Hurley to take a picture , it is dry and in pretty good shape for the Hurley. BUT there are two pretty big holes to watch out for near the summit on the Gold Bridge side. This site is based on Hurley driver updates…

Thanks to Leah for the first update and photos of the season! The section at the top of the Pemberton switchbacks is rocky and like a dried up river bed but after the summit it’s smooth driving all the way to Gold Bridge. This site is based on Hurley driver updates so please email new…

Sal DeMare sent in some photos today of the progress. Please do not go up for a look or try to drive the road until the opening post has been made. As soon as the road is open we will make the post and it is expected to be open in time for the long…

We received an update from Sal DeMare today. BRV Mechanical has the contract to plow the snow. Scott said they had to fix a washout at Donnelly creek first so starts plowing today. What the avi tech said from what he saw from the air was around a meter of snow at the summit so…

Its the time of year when all of us want to know when the Hurley is going to be open. Dir. Sal DeMare was in touch today (May 3) with ministry officials to find out the status of the snow clearing beginning. According to Ministry officials, the avalanche tech advises that as of late last…

After hearing several reports of deep snow and sledders on the road it’s time to call the Hurley closed to vehicle traffic and open to snowmobiles. Access to the Bridge River Valley is via Lillooet and Road 40 until next summer. Have a great winter and always check the Avalanche forecast before heading out to…

Thanks to Stu Salter for the latest update from Tuesday afternoon. Heavy rain in Pemberton and icy roads from valley to around the Tenquille Branch where it turned to snow. 6-8″ of new snow at the summit. This site is user maintained so keep the emails coming to info@bridgerivervalley.ca. Thanks to everyone who has sent…

Thanks to Anton for the latest Hurley update. Came down the Hurley last night. Fluctuating freezing levels have left glare ice in places on the descent Southbound. If you don’t have studs on then chains are a must, at least on the front, Sure glad I put mine on at the Semaphore pullout!! The rest…

Update: Multiple reports of drivers getting stuck and no prepard with a shovel or chains and relying on others to get them out. We’ve had some comments regarding the post below about downhill drivers having right of way. The Hurley is a unique road and everyone needs to use common sense when driving. The thought…
