Optimistically still hoping roads into Whitmore and Tuweep [4-21] and then Smokey Mt to Left Hand Collet Cyn [5-2] will be open. Two days ago St. George was 200% of normal precip.
My 'question' is twofold: Who is a reliable source of road information for Collet Canyon down to HITR Rd?
Big Water BLM just told me not to drive Collet Cyn dry or wet.....Hmmmm. OK maybe not in Prius but has anyone driven that cyn road recently [assuming last year]? Guy on phone said he got stuck in Collet in the winter....Duh.
How tough is that road to drive, considering we drive an '05 Tundra with E-tires and a Hawk?
Collet is advertised as a tour path from Escalante down to HITR and back up HITR to Escalante.
Unfortunately, my WAG is that Smokey Mt Rd will be muddy on 5-2 and that is a no-go.
Any first hand knowledge and advice welcomed!
Thanks,
Phil
