Unfortunately the logging company dug up the one road in, so the only options were totally overgrown goat paths. I did some permanent paint work on my 4runner getting through it, so I’m not sure a truck would make it. Hopefully more people will force their way through and open it up some more.
Nice! I need to get back there this summer. Looks like you had a beautiful day for it too. theshanergy and moose and I went up Rowbotham Lake last weekend, and we got a pretty good view of Arrowsmith from across the valley. It's the snowy one hiding in the clouds :)
Along the way there are a ton of logging roads and forest roads to explore. I'd start with these routes, and pick up a Backroads Map Book to find the hidden treasures along the way. Some spots to check out if you're in the Renfrew area would be Avatar Grove and Big Lonely Doug.
I’ll be there too! 11 at the trailhead.
Here’s the trailhead: https://goo.gl/maps/ZEfhJM1hGmyTPRPr7
I might be able to join! I don’t think we have plans for Saturday. I’ll post again to confirm if I am coming.

Hey Papa,
The route itself is pretty straight forward, even Google Maps can route it: https://goo.gl/maps/mSYdJfT4NX8ZaNG17
Another option is going Port Renfrew to Bamfield to Port Alberni, which would be a great drive: https://goo.gl/maps/sv2AD3HcKDVeETgk8
