A few days ago I came across a video on the Silver Skagit Rd which leads to Ross Lake. It was heavily damaged by the flooding in November and crews are currently working on it. It looks like there is no access to Silver Lake and beyond. One area well passed Silver Lake has a creek running through a large portion of the destroyed road. Not sure how they will fix that.
I checked and the Skagit Valley Biring Blitz has been canceled this year due to the damage that occurred.
Great to hear crews are fixing it but it will likely take a few months at least.

Thanks for the info, Chris. In lieu of the Skagit Valley Bird Blitz, Hope Mountain Centre is putting on a day of birding around Hope Airpark and Thacker Regional Park (Thacker Marsh). hopemountain.org/programs

I was up to Silver Lake today. The campgrounds are open, however the Silver Skagit is still gated at the turnoff to the Campgrounds. The grader is running on the section just above the gate, but I don't know if they will give access to it anytime soon. I know 18km and above was total devastation.
The Flycatchers and Warblers were making a lot of noise today at the campground, very nice.

From a posting on Hope BC Bulletin Board: The province says Silver Skagit Road south of Hope will reopen on April 15, 2024 for public use, but flood repairs will continue into 2025.

forgive my off colour tone but i was up there in june with a COC trail clearing permission on the TCT . I don't know about closer to ross lake but what i saw was very little/no damage 'cept for two places where there was washouts. one had been repaired , they do a nice job now with a protective dike. But given the size of the crew and the VERY long time this is taking it looks to me like a 'make work ' project. just a outrageous scam in my opinion
