Does anyone know conditions of Yankee Doodle? I want to take my wife and 3 year old down it possibly next Tuesday. I realize conditions can change until then but am interested if the canyon is holding any water at the moment or if it usually holds water this time of year. If it does hold water how deep would it be? I only did it in the summer and it was completely dry.
Thanks!

10 days ago it was dry all the way through until the last pothole, which was full. Much of the canyon filled with loose debris during the Sept storms and many of the water areas earlier this summer are filled up and a stroll.

thanks for the info! I've done Yankee before but do not remember the pothole. How deep would you say it could get? Would I be able to hold my daughter above my shoulders so she wont get wet?

Went through on Friday 10/18. Water in all of the usual spots nothing more than waste deep. Last pot hole was less than waste deep.
I heard the road to Yankee Doodle was pretty rough earlier in the season, how is it now? Going in Sunday for a solo run in a Toyota Camry.

We had an Acura TL sedan and just took it slow. The road is fine.
