Farrgo Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Has anybody been out to the city of rocks in late march or better? The guidebook says the season runs april-november, is it realistic to go in march or not? thanks. Quote
Off_White Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 It can go either way, and it all depends on how the season goes and how much snow they got over the winter. I've been there at that time and it's been great, and another time been snowed and stormed on (though we did squeeze in a couple climbs). Be aware that those roads out there get ultra slimey when wet, and the 4wd Bronco we were in didn't seem to help much. Quote
sk Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 was thinking that city would be ass deep in snow... BRRRRRRRR Quote
J_Fisher Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Could be fine, could be snowed in. 1st week in April 2 years ago there wasn't too much snow to get around but we didn't get in too much climbing due to snow squalls. But I've been snowed on there in late May, too. I wouldn't commit to the drive without current beta and a good Wx report. Also, I would plan on the road from Oakley being closed over the little pass at the north entrance. Quote
Farrgo Posted February 13, 2004 Author Posted February 13, 2004 Thanks, sounds like J-tree for me this spring break. Quote
lummox Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 the castle rocks area is lower elevation. i assume it would be climbable early season. Quote
