winter road conditions to san josef bay

We headed out to San Josef Bay for the day and have updated our road report. Between Port Hardy and Holberg the road is covered in snow and slush. We were in a large pickup truck with studded snow tires and still found it to be slippery. Be very cautious when heading out on this road during winter conditions. 

Beyond Holberg the roads were clear of snow and areas were freshly graded. On San Jo Main near the trail head parking lot there are a LOT of potholes. On the drive home we ran into snow south of Holberg until the turn-off to Port Hardy.

We are launching the Pothole Patrol!

In an effort to make travel easy and safe to the west coast we are going to be posting the road conditions that we encounter. We have found that the road conditions to Cape Scott Provincial Park & San Josef Bay (and all of the beaches beyond Holberg) are constantly changing, and at times can be quite treacherous without a properly equipped vehicle and some local knowledge. 

During the winter we will update this at least once a month, and during the spring & summer we will be updating it weekly. Feel free to contact us anytime with questions on road conditions and travel to the west coast. 

Last week the road to Holberg had some really nice & freshly graded sections and also had some sections with lots of potholes.

Does anyone know what happened to the "Be Prepared for the Unexpected" sign??? We love that iconic piece of logger humour & are sad to see it gone...
