Drove it (Tuni Gap road) today (2020-10-31). Road in excellent condition. Drove north (SR 1457) to south (to SR 1307). Mid-day sunlight glinting on a profusion of rhododendrons.

June 2020, slide still exists, only the edge of road slid, huge but totally rideable by bike, maybe not driveable by a motorhome. Gate closed at bottom and top. Sign on gate says "ROAD CLOSED." Forest road to east also connects at top even though it doesn't show it on this map. Great road. Was pretty moist on June 8.

For some additional information, this is also a seasonal road for motor vehicles on the southern section up to the intersection with SR1307, so from January through the middle of April, should not have to worry about any cars or motos, except for Rangers etc and motos that go around gates
