We were able to make a quick trip last weekend. We hope you enjoying tagging along.The trip story can be found here - Back to Leavitt Lake
Darryl, the first water crossing is the same as last year. The dip entering is deep but we have a great departure angle with nothing hanging off the back. The sharp corner climbing out is a little worse. It continues to erode out as idiots drive straight down over the rock to the left. The rocky sections above are worse than last year. That's the Lady's observation and I agree. From what I saw with people's driving skills - or lack of - this is caused by folks with large jacked up trucks convinced that speed and power gets you to the top. A lot of rocks are being moved and the trail widened as more attempt to go around. Sad.Darryla said:Can you tell me about shape of the road up tp the lake? I am most interested in how rough is the first water crossing? Last year I was getting a little uncomfortable about crossing it.
Thank you,
Darryl
Darryl, let us know what you think of the road. Have a great trip!Darryla said:Ok, Thank you. I may be going up in the morning.
Regards,
Darryl
Nope, if the road gets bad we don't go. We do a lot of walking, scouting, evaluating. It keeps us fit and healthy.ACEBLACKDOG said:do you by chance carry a long metal bar for leverage to pry/move large displaced rocks that may be hazardous to try to get over ?
i have thought about investing in one of these since i have had to back out of some narly/impossible areas...
Haven't been up Funnel or Laurel Lakes so can't compare. The rocky sections up to Leavitt are fairly short.ETAV8R said:How would you compare the road to Leavitt vs. Funnel? Thanks again for your reports and photos.
