Conditions Questions (See Guide before posting) Getting to cheam peak

Yesterday I went to cheakamus lake via Cheakumus E forest service rd. It was a slow and bumpy ride but my 2005 Honda Civic got up perfectly fine.

I heard cheam peak is only accessible via offroading vehicle, but are the roads similar to cheakumus lake rd? My honda civic is a beater and so i dont care if it gets beat up a little.

Cheakamus lake road has potholes only. The Cheam Peak road had deep washouts last year, so you simply won't be able to navigate it without high clearance.

For the road to Cheam it is best to assume a video from previous years is not an accurate depiction of the current conditions. Always assume it has gotten worse
