Touring Upper Cottonwood

The snow conditions were fair for doing turns, but conditions for touring the higher elevations above Tony Grove Lake/Upper Cottonwood were really nice.
Parking just below the gravel pit turn off worked out well for a truck w/4x4. Some vehicles made it to the 2nd cattle guard.
The Forst Service posted some red-tipped bamboo poles a couple miles up the road (where the road crosses TG Creek). It looks like the "old" road/TG Ck trail starting at the highway parking area will be non-motorized for the time being.
The FS also posted a sign at the Highway turn off showing that the 2003 ROD boundaries are in place. A map is also posted showing boundaries.
Nice day.

If anyone else was out, leave a comment.

Snow Monitoring Web Sites & Topo Map Link

Scott at Trailhead recommended two links most of us are probably interested in.

The "Logan Summit Web Cam" link listed under Local Links in the right hand margin connects to the web camera up at the snow sheds in Logan Canyon.

The "Snow Depth" link listed under Local Links in the right hand margin connects to the National Weather site and reports recent precipitation and snow depth totals. Tony Grove is one of the locations found in the pull down bar as is Temple Fork.

I also added the Topo Zone Map site. Useful for determining the number of “verts” (as they use to say in Sun Valley) found on a favorite shot.
