Mormon Emigrant Trail
Mormon Emigrant Trail is open, there was one spot that had snow on 1/3 of the road but its very drivable. Just keep a look out for some small rocks on the road. Cindy and I did this on Tuesday, great weather for this drive.

That is one of my favorite roads to take; it is also very convenient for reaching 395, Silver Lake (great campground BTW -not the big one on south side but smaller first come first serve across the road on north side) Caples, and Hope Valley.
Two years ago I returned home on that road just as it was starting to snow. By the time we reached Jenkins Lake the going was treacherous on DZIIs!

I know some S owners that won't take North-South rd. I take mine almost anywhere. 11 Pines rd, Mosquito Ridge rd. Hell I've been on 100's of roads like those. You can't drive like a idiot or you'll be walking home but drive responsible the S can be driven just about anywhere.
