Skutumpah road closed at Bull Valley Gorge

[Carcass]

Came across this at the Visitor Center on Escalante.

WOAH!!!!

Wow! Seems like fixing that could mess up Bull Valley Gorge a bit. I imagine all the material that came down may have done that anyway though.

I'm curious of the truck.

 

[Nick]

I was thinking the same thing, but this appears to have washed out on the downstream side so I'd guess the truck is probably still there.

it has been closed for at least two weeks, maybe longer. Read about it before the BCP campout

Plenty if room to get around

Curious if anybody has an update on Bull Valley Gorge. I've seen conflicting reports elsewhere online re: whether all/some of the truck fell along with a portion of the bridge last spring.

I know it was also discussed in this thread...

... but wondering if anybody has visited since then maybe later in the year. What were the conditions like? And... is the truck definitely gone? Photos?

Thanks!

It would appear the road isn't closed anymore
