Creeks at Rockdale are running knee deep in places -- we took off our shoes and waded across (wouldn't want to try it in our Subaru). Current isn't fast enough to be a concern, and we saw 5 jeeps drive through, and a pickup and Jeep Compass at the 4wd trailhead. Otherwise trail conditions are good except for at the crux described in the route description, which is pretty loose and pebbly. Re-reading the route description saw the class 3 option -- should've given that a try.

I'm looking to hit the West Ridge on Sunday... We have a Ford Escape, just curious how far you think we'd make it past Rockdale. I know the streams might not be passable, but do you think we'd make it up the road a bit?

We're debating between starting from Missouri Gulch or the West Ridge... Trying to be up and off the mountain by 12 so we want to take the shortest/quickest route.

Any thoughts or feedback would be awesome!!
