Heading west for a hike during second week of March in Mazatzal along AZ trail. Passable? How deep is the snow? I would appreciate any insights!!

Looks like Arizona has gotten some good snow this year.

It got quite a bit of snow last week. Second week of March may be okay if it stays sunny but temps haven’t been too high to melt things out. We’re probably heading back out there next Monday or Tuesday depending on our hitching succes.

NOAA site where they model snow depth. Worth checking out prior to a trip. Would be curious how this model compares to actual if anyone’s on the AZ in Mazatzal.
