Hammond Canyon access

[mike_offerman]

I am thinking about going down to Hammond Canyon next weekend and was wondering what kind of road conditions I might expect. If it is even open, is a 4x4, subaru or a car needed to get to the little notch?

I will be coming in from Blanding, is one road usually better than another to access the area?

I am afraid that it might be a little early to be going up there, but it looks like a great hike.
