No change from last update here. HC 4x4 needed to pass. would be nice to have someone on a motorcycle go up and see how the trail is past the deep water bars.
The start of the road has had water run down it creating deep ruts. 4x4 HC vehicles will probably be able to drive through it but most people's vehicles will be parking at the bottom. Even tho we only hiked on it a short distance it appeared to be open with a few blowdowns that I'm sure will get cleared now that the Skagit Valley FSR is open.
