    Does anyone know if the current road conditions in Arches allow for 2WD passenger car to reach MMI and Undercover trailhead and also Winter Camp Slot?

    Based on the forecasts, it sounds likely that some rain will hit somewhere on the long dirt road in, based on this info
    http://canyoncollective.com/threads/storms-in-escalante.19792/
    The road is notorious for being impassable when wet, 2, all wheel, 4 wheel drive, whatever. AND it doesn't take much rain. If you start to sink at all, GET the heck out of there..

    So having a good back up plan, perhaps off the pavement of Arches, might be wise.

    What is the best NOAA location to check to follow weather for this specific area, and the road down to Lost Spring-- Cisco?
