Beyond High Bridge, 11 miles up the valley, many sections of the road were damaged by the floods of November '95. At present, the road is open to Bridge Creek. The targeted opening date from Bridge Creek to Flat Creek is July 17. Hikers, horseback parties, bicyclists, motorbikes and motorcycles, however, can continue traveling up the road as far as snow and road conditions permit.

Above Flat Creek, a channel of the river is flowing down the road for approximately 3000'. Due to the damage, the road will remain closed above Flat Creek until conditions change and the road can be repaired. A trail has been established and will be maintained along this section of road. Hikers and horseback parties will be able to use this trail. Bicycles are allowed, but not recommended. Ask a ranger about latest conditions on the road.

The 23-mile Stehekin Valley Road is paved for four miles from Stehekin Landing and becomes gravel at Harlequin Campground. Along the way are many views of the Stehekin River, glacier-clad jagged peaks, and dense coniferous forests. Transportation is offered along the road for your enjoyment and convenience. Drivers provide a narrated tour along the way, as well as camping and hiking information. You may get on or off the buses at any location. A wheelchair lift and infant seats are available on the NPS bus with advance arrangements.
