Based on conditions certain roads may not be passable. - Still under review.

I was just out at both over this last weekend. All roads were open but the area just got a ton of rain as we were leaving Monday the 1st of May. Just a heads up

Great area to explore! I was there several times in the 70-80's. Here is a link to my home movies from some of those trips;
thanks for sharing that, kinda a time capsule I like the old style video adds a bit of drama to everything.

Also makes me think we carry way to much stuff! - LOL!

Hi All,
Black Rock - Soldier Meadows was great, rained/thunderstorms over Weds-Saturday but otherwise awesome.
Weds-Friday saw only 2 other rigs going through the valley but on Friday after 3pm the campground and surrounding dispersed camping areas filled up fast!
Had an overall epic time, my first time being solo in such a remote area.

Had one small anxiety attack after I closed my rear hatch on my key fob. Realized there was no backup for me if that had been broken ( I am now ordering a backup just in case!).
Trip Video is here

Enjoyed the hot springs!! - The best 5 star location !!

Did see 2 groups of pronghorn antelope, that was epic.
