I plan to head to the gorge again in the next week or so, Whats the road conditions look like?

Wolfpit probably fine..  But last time i saw table rock road, it was a frozen hell of downed trees...

Anyone know how far this is drivable as of now? i feel like it will stay the coldest and wettest the longest..

What about kistler too? 

Thanks for any help.

Long time no see Ryan ... I'd say from the snow reports it's not any better today and won't be after tonight!

Kistler is clear of snow as of today. But really muddy and a 4wd was a must. Some of the hills were routed out a foot deep but we made it ok in a subaru outback.  Lots of trees are down but cut out of the road. Rock Jock trail in pretty good shape considering all this winters snow and wind (thanks for the hard work guys!) We went in on the North end today and went about half way and back out. Most of the snow is gone on the trail. Great day in the gorge with plenty of sunshine.

HERE are some photos of Rockjock
yesterday, and a few videos of the south end of Kistler.  The messy places were relatively short compared to the areas of
nice smooth road.  Not too bad really. Some ruts maybe 10" down there, but easily straddled .
