    I’m very familiar with forest service road driving as I do it often, would a lifted Honda Fit have issues? I have yet to do this route but I want to do it fairly soon, I want to take my Honda Fit but I could also take my van, just wanna know how gnarly it gets cuz the only park I had a concern about is after the bridge up that hill, is it bumpy or just steep

    • @BuddyDarDarTV

      It's been a 10ish years since I've been on that route, toughest part is between Darcy and Seton. It's like a moderately rough service road, not much rutting but bad traction in parts due to shale. You should be fine in your Fit if you have good tires and decent clearance. Have fun!

      Hi Alec, thanks for following our trips. You can do this loop with a regular 4x4, low range is not required. However, good all terrain tires are highly recommended. The shale on the road can easily flat regular tires. Any more questions please feel free to contact us at info@joyofexploring.ca

    Beautiful video ......this is in my bucket list...Was it safe to drive along the road? I remember leaving my car on the snowmobile parking lot to ride up the Hurley (end of Sep last year) and saw a lot of hunters heading to the North Lillooet FSR. They warned me it was dangerous....once on the Hurley I did hear shots coming from the valley ...not sure whether the warning was because of the active shooting or the wildlife along the river....that's why I was planning to ride the South FSR instead of the North one.
