Oh my God. Yo'all have to see what they've done to the road leading up to chek. Its still gravel, but its smooth all the way up, wider, and it has a new parking area just before the part where most people have trouble getting their cars up. Looks great.

I always figured you liked it rough. :) Must be from your days as a rookie.

From latest CASBC newsletter
Conroy Creek - Cheak
The Ministry of Forests (Squamish) did some helpful work at Conroy Creek in autumn 2005. They graded the road, and made some small improvements, including ditches. This should help keep it driveable. A new parking area below the existing one was built, a culvert/pipe was placed, and they may donate an outhouse. The Ministry has also suggested that a recreation area be established, including the key cliffs, parking and trails, and perhaps a small campsite and noticeboard. We hope to meet them on-site in the near future, to delineate the area and plan further work. There’ll probably be a volunteer day in the spring, to do necessary work. Grants from the Alpine Club of Canada – Vancouver Section Endowment Fund and National Environment Fund will help
