Winter 2018-2019

The same could be said for most high alpine areas of Utah. This of course means that Memorial Day weekend is going to be an absolute zoo at places like Moab, Arches, Capitol Reef, and The Swell. I mean, they already are pretty overrun on holiday weekends, but it's going to be even more so this year because so many other options are still closed and/or inaccessible.

I am only here for your entertainment----and some of you 1%er's money, so I can retire.

Screengrabbed this little snippet -- apparently 2019 was the 2nd wettest Spring on recorded history in Utah.

Just spent nearly 3 weeks south of I-70 and the desert is lit up real good...and it just got another soaking. The next three weeks is going to be the time to be there.

Welcome back. Just yesterday I was looking at your profile to determine when the last time you posted was....May 9th.

I imagine with all of the water that it's getting kind of buggy down that way? Or at least it will be if it's not yet...

I took these photos at the top of the Alpine Loop last Friday. Still 2+ feet of snow up there with 3-4' deep snow banks still on some north facing sections of the trails. Crazy.

I stayed at Eardley Canyon right up against the Reef near I-70 for three nights just before coming home. Indeed, the bugs around camp where out in force, but once the sun when down and the fire got going they were gone. Don't hang around camp when the sun is shining!

This is the little salt lake, in Parowan valley.

Been dry for many years, last I saw this much water was 83-84

Lake currently has water 7 1/2 miles long and about 1 mile wide at widest point.

I'd love to know what it's max. depth is...2ft? 30ft?

Right now, likely around 2'.average.

Pretty consistently flat bottom.
