2 11/6/2021 Posted On: 11/7/2021 By: bangerth Info: Easily drivable all the way to the top with the exception of the big holes about 2.5 miles from the top that were mentioned in previous reports. But no problem at all with a Subi Outback if you took it slow -- just take your time finding a way through and around. | ||||
10/29/2021 Posted On: 10/30/2021 By: RWSchaffer Info: The road was dry to trailhead. 4WD and at least eight inches clearance would be desirable for the still unrepaired obstacle (pictured) about 2.5 miles below trailhead. | 1 |

10/17/2021 Posted On: 10/17/2021 By: scottda Info: The rough patch in the road, 3 miles before the North Cottonwood TH, is surprisingly bad. The attached photo (shot from above on the way out) does not do it justice. We made it through with our 4Runner, but the depressions are really deep. | 1 |

9/26/2021 Posted On: 9/26/2021 By: TZDWyo Info: Can confirm that 4-5' stretch is worse now. Couldn't figure out a good way to get my Liberty past it. Watched several SUVs and a pickup think better of it. | 1 |

9/22/2021 Posted On: 9/26/2021 By: JasonCrane Info: Road is okay until one 4-5' section that has deep, massive potholes located on an upward sloping ramp portion. There's no way around it. I watched an ATV pass through okay, then 2 other vehicles (Subaru Outback & an SUV) bottom-out & with tires contorting in all different directions. It was violent. I tried to pass through with a Ford Escape & temporarily got the front tires stuck in the abyss before deciding to back down the slope. My SUV is a rental & just decided to turn around & preserve the vehicle w/out making it to the TH. | ||||
9/14/2021 Posted On: 9/14/2021 By: jyoumans Info: There's roughly a 4'-5' section of road that was washed out, it's been "patched" with rocks but the dips are still large & very difficult to traverse. If you're unable to proceed, you'll need to budget an additional 3-4mi (one-way) just to get to the TH. | 1 |

9/11/2021 Posted On: 9/15/2021 By: telecast09 Info: Beware, the road is rough 2WD except for one 4WD section 2.4-2.6 miles from TH which is deteriorating quickly. The short 4WD section has a handful of wide and 1 ft deep potholes spanning the road. We had 8-9 inches of clearance (without skid plates) and needed to add more rocks to the potholes to avoid scraping. Even with the rock "patches", the section worsened over the course of the day. | ||||
9/10/2021 Posted On: 9/11/2021 By: ae_gentry Info: I drove to the trailhead on 10 September, and agree that the one section is very sketchy. Some kind folks put some rocks in some of the deepest potholes, but there are a bunch of really deep ones, and it's not easy to thread your way through them. Although I did get my Subaru to the trailhead, I don't recommend it. | ||||
9/1/2021 Posted On: 9/1/2021 By: psa954hiker Info: Agree with the previous status report. On Aug 20 I took a 2WD Camry to the trailhead, but at the aforementioned potholes (in the dark) it was rough. When I go back again this weekend I'm going to borrow someone's truck. | 1 |

8/26/2021 Posted On: 8/26/2021 By: dennywitte Info: I live along this road. The CR365/FS365 had major work done on it last fall with all ruts and washboarding repaired. However, with the heavy rains and heavy traffic this summer the road has gradually deteriorated. About 1/10 of a mile into the Natl Forest there are at least three potholes about a foot deep. Without careful tire placement cars will get themselves in trouble. Beware. | 1 |

8/21/2021 Posted On: 8/23/2021 By: V1per41 Info: Most of the road was in decent enough shape, but there was one spot about 1.5 miles from the TH that I had doubts I would make it through in a high clearance SUV. That being said, there was a BMW sedan at the trailhead so it must be possible. | ||||
8/2/2021 Posted On: 8/10/2021 By: bking14ers Info: The road all the way in was far better than last year at this time. Any car can go in. A couple chuck holes along the way, but can be avoided with careful driving. | ||||
7/30/2021 Posted On: 8/2/2021 By: jasowel Info: For the most part any 2WD vehicle is fine, but there were two or three small sections I'm really glad I had high clearance. Some of those ruts seemed pretty unavoidable and quite deep. | ||||
6/20/2021 Posted On: 6/20/2021 By: sehessler92 Info: The rut is non existent. I was waiting to drive through it this morning and its been completely flattened. Saw sedans at the trailhead. I assume any sedan would have to take things extra slow on some parts of the road but would be ok | ||||
6/15/2021 Posted On: 6/15/2021 By: Cide Info: Dry, rut is nothing like it was before, way smaller. |
