    Default North Fork Halfmoon Gulch - water conditions



    I have a stock Rubicon with Truck tires - I think I have 29's. I want to go up to Champion Mill and understand there is large water
    crossing. My reading is that it is large with snow runoff so I am hoping it has shallowed out some. Anyone know if the creek has
    gone down and I can make it across? I don't really want to swim at this point in my experience but I can cross creeks that are not
    too deep.

    haven't been up there this year but the 2 previous trips were in September in different years and both times the water was maximum 20" deep.

    The gate seen at 7:17 is sometimes closed and you have to walk to the mill.

    I ran Halfmoon on the 12th. Trail should be no problem for nearly any stock 4x4, creek crossing included. It was at most 2' deep, probably less. The gate was open allowing you to drive right up to the mill.

    Have fun! It's a neat trail. Stay away from the South fork as I used my skids & sliders on an obstacle a little ways up there.
