Status Reports

Mild trail, gate was closed on the last turn off to get out to 1374 (screen shot of route) but you can keep going straight out to the main road. Worth the ride 🤘🏼

Parrish road closed at Lost Meadow Rd INTERSECTION

A few mud and rough parts but you do not even need 4x4. A 2WD SUV can get through. might be a little too rough for a sedan. we came from north heading south and had to turn around at the intersection of Sandy Creek (222) and Lost Meadow since ut was closed. Had to turn around and go back to main road and take Lost Meadows all the way down. There are no other serious obstacles.
