    Sowaqua rock slide

    Hey I was told by a friend that the road has been more or less washed out by a rock slide this last winter and even with a quad it’s impassable. Does anyone know if the province or maybe the HBC trail people will repair the road? Or will it stay closed till a logging company reopens it when they log again eventually?

    Thanks for the info!

    Have a buddy who went back there this past Monday. Able to get past the rock slide with motor bikes and atv's. Can't fit a SxS between the bolders in the slide area.

    That's always been a volatile hillside. Made me nervous crossing it in good conditions.

    Doesn't it happen every year there? In 2016 came to the slide and an excavator rebuilding the road.
    Came back a week later and drove the entire length of the FSR in my dads 1998 Ford Escort cause i didn't want to pay for day insurance on the jeep.

    They dug cross ditches since then on the first hill when you head up from the highway, so not really car accessible anymore.

    I went up to the very end on the 2nd of June on the RZR. Would not even consider taking my Tundra up there. It is pretty hairy now. Wasn’t like that last spring. The first wash out isn’t too bad but the second section is pretty nasty. We did see a couple of Jeeps up there but they both had big tires with lifts.
