2025 Nootka Sound/Esperanza Inlet Reports

Anybody driven the Gold River-Moutcha Bay road recently? How much is paved? Can it be done in a car versus a HD pickup? Thinking about going for a ride, but don’t want to destroy my 323 given it’s low clearance.
 
It can definitely be done in a car and lots of people do it. Avoid the big pot holes and some random larger rocks. Think there has been a bit of snow lately so may want to wait for it to warm up a bit. I believe about 1/3-1/2 is paved now. There is a Tahsis Road conditions Facebook page if you are on Facebook. A couple weeks ago when I drove to Tahsis it was probably the best condition I have ever driven on in 15 years. Headed back on the 19th and can give you an update then if interested.

Thanks. Yes, if you drive it again let me know.
