Boulder snowpack?

[HorseCreek]

We are going down the week after Memorial day. I was wondering if anyone knows how much snow is still up there? Out of Loa around Blue, Purple and Row lakes? Are they accessible on 4 wheelers?

I have not heard if the snow it melted up there. If you can get up around Row, will you please grab my trail cam that I left from last september.

You can try calling the Loa Ranger District. 435 425 3702. I spoke with them last week and it was snowing in Loa. Up high on the mountain they still had snow drifts accross the asphalt roads and couldn't get to some camp grounds. If the areas you are trying to get to are in shaded canyons or on north slopes, could be alot of snow.
You can also try www.atvutah.com alot of the folks on there are from central utah.

There was tons of snow last weekend when I came through Loa.

I spoke with the Fishlake Lodge people yesterday to find out if the ice was off the lake yet, and if we would be able to access our cabin. They said it had snowed 18" so far and was still coming down. That is at 8,800'. So I would imagine the same would apply to the Boulder.

I don't think you can have the parentheses in the title "(small)". You may have to rename the photo to exclude them.

LAST EDITED ON May-23-11 AT 01:14PM (MST)[p]That was april up seven mile. Just up hill from the dirt road. The Rzr is on top of 5 feet of snow. Down bellow the north side of the driveway has a 10 foot drift .
Dr hunter the nice thing about the tracks is they are all season. That why I was checking with the loa rangers ,I was going to put the tires back on. It's a little slow compared to a snow mobile. It only does about 30 mph tops.

Apparently there is still over 6 feet of snow @ Boulder Top, and a huge drift in the road just past Dog Lake. Trip is officially postponed!
