Example of a Trail Update for a Route

Date: 4/30/2021

Current Status: Open with some issues

Additional Details: Recent rains have caused the river levels to rise substantially. Buffalo River is approximately 3' deep. Lifted vehicles with larger tires (33" +) may find it difficult and/or dangerous to cross Buffalo River. There's another crossing that's about 30" deep 1/2 mile north of the main crossing. We recommend checking water levels first, but this is typically the alternative crossing point. Aside from water levels, the rest of the trail is running fantastic!

Doing some research of the Mojave Road in preparation for a trip.

Not much of a status update but a couple things of note for this trail:

The Mojave School Bus has been removed: http://z1077fm.com/mojave-road-school-bus-joins-artifacts-at-goffs-schoolhouse/

Also, the deep water crossing at Afton Canyon has been filled with rocks to facilitate work on the railroad:

We came through in early April this year and the rock filled section was covered with maybe 8" of water. The water crossing east of there, at the railroad trestle was maybe a couple of feet deep(?). All depends on whether or not there's been any rain earlier in the season to make it's way down.

Came through there yesterday. March 10 2022 The water was about 24” deep.

Two of us bogged down in the sand just after leaving the Playa. Maxx Traxx or XBull trax got us out easily but not much fun when it’s gusting to 50 and sand is blowing all over the place.
