    How long does it take the dirt roads (S. UT) to dry out after snow?

    I've driven the Flint Trail switchbacks just hours after a light rain/snow storm and it was fine. But I've also gotten stopped cold by a very deep puddle on the maze road well north of Hans Flat. This was a number of years ago, perhaps they've improved drainage there since then.

    We Were Almost Bones…

    thanks for posting! now I'm thinking back at various backpacks and trying to figure out if I always followed Steve Allen's rule "always carry enough water to get back to a known source" and I feel like most of the time I've done this? hard to say for sure. I did have a bad moment a few Octobers...

    How long does it take the dirt roads (S. UT) to dry out after snow?

    urgh... I had been planning to head to that general part of the world this Friday but that's looking like a bad plan. from long experience the answer is "it depends." I'd say give it a few days and then proceed carefully and be ready to turn around. also, there are plenty of great trips that you...

    Who has been here? Ruin off Hole-in-the-Rock road

    just recently I saw a trip report (I assume here, since I don't really read trip reports other places) of someone who visited these ruins @Allymacx one of the Kelsey books gives pretty solid info (for Kelsey) about where this is

    Southern Utah March suggestions?

    as people are suggesting, anywhere but the highest elevations are usually lovely in March. I used to consider April to be the perfect time to get out in spring but with global warming it's more like March now. weather is often unsettled in early spring so definitely be ready for windy...

    Guess the spot: Utah Edition

    yes! not far from where it exits the reef. I don't think most people get up onto the rim here, but it's easy and nice

    Guess the spot: Utah Edition

    not boulder creek. this one receives (I would guess) quite a lot more hiking traffic than Boulder Creek.

    Packrafts. The thread.

    I've thought about this too-- but never actually tried it. at least the packrafts I've used, have not been shaped in a way that would allow this to work very well. you could use a completely deflated packraft as sort of a burly ground cloth, but I'm not sure that's super useful. and this...

    at home, Google Earth and CalTopo, like everyone else in the field I use OsmAnd, it's the only app I've found that will load up my gigantic KML of routes and points and stuff that I've accumulated over the years in GE, it's more than 50 MB of stuff. I don't love the OsmAnd interface but the...
