Status Update
Creek crossing running ~20 inches deep. Water was up to the bottom of the door of our RZR. There are a few tight switchbacks that require careful driving for longer vehicles. The start of the road is much improved from a few years ago. Gravel was brought in that makes it a much easier start than it used to be. Picture looking at the creek crossing from the uphill side, and the other was taken while in the creek crossing. Photos (click for slideshow):

wineguy	Part-way Parking? 07/28/2019 08:45 Aside from the water, which will eventually decline, is there parking along the road for someone who wants to drive part-way up the road?
sdkeil	Camping along the way 07/29/2019 13:23 Yes there are a few campsites along the way where there are pull offs to park, I would say 6-10 spots so on a busy weekend you might be a little limited. I have a stock Pro4X and didnt have any problem with the road. Most of the cars at the upper TH yesterday were jeeps and 4-runners.
