Drove out in the afternoon and overnighted at the fire watch tower. The road conditions were great. Some ruts, but nothing deeper than a few inches. The final stretch at the top has some exposed sections where the edge of the road is beginning to crumble away. Can't wait for our next visit!

Trail is mostly dirt and rock. One vehicle wide with some opportunities to pull over to let other vehicles pass. It was not that difficult for my 2wd canyon.

Deep Snow
Beautiful day and was visiting my daughter in DuPont. We headed up to the fire lookout and made it 2.5 miles from the top. Encountered deep snow for about 300 yards. Snow had melted to slush and then froze again. Had to go up over a ride down into a hole.and.make a switch back. Lost traction in 4H and 4A. So decoded.to.tuem around in defeat. It was just our car and no winch. So decided to tackle another day.
