UT trail and pass conditions

[BPCLFD]

Tried to find some info of mtn passes in UT No dice. Possible running the UTBDR around June 27-July 11 we where planning on CO but looks like that is out this year. Anyone know of some sites that show road and pass opening and closing for UT?

If all else fails call the USFS district in the area you are trying to get through. They give great updates. Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest - Home

Ok thanks we are going ahead and heading that way if everything opens up we will be doing the UTBDR If now we will just drive around aimlessly [emoji51]

To be honest.. on the BDR you miss a lot of the highlights of Utah, you might have more fun running the Utah traverse or exploring other areas along the Southern part of the route.. The northern part (north of Price) is no doubt beautiful, but you are likely going to run into a lot of mud and likely snow in the 9000+ elevations so take that into consideration. Even spending some time in eastern Colorado (ask @Anchor Mtn about that) might be time better spent this year, due to the immensity of snow pack and extended spring. Good luck, feel free to reach out if you need more info.

The Utah Traverse is the way to go right now. Everything in Colorado is still snow covered or deep in mud if its not.
