| 2009-05-04 | Closed at the gate 1/4 mile before the parking lot due to snow drifting, should probably be open to the parking lot in a week or two. | benners |
| 2008-06-30 | road clear and dry to Monty Res trailhead...navigable with a 2wd. | MoSko |
| 2008-06-29 | 6/28/08- The road is rough after the res., and I would recommend you have a proper vehicle to go up into the basin. There is a large snowfield blocking passage at 11,500‘, which is just shy of the normal 4x4 parking area. Other snow fields abound after that, but it is (was) melting out quickly. You can either walk over or around the snow fields, but the area is just wet in general. I did the North Ridge on Democrat, and it was snow free. North Couloir still has snow it, and even had fresh ski tracks in it. | Grover |

| 2007-12-19 | Open and very well maintained all the way to the northwest corner of the reservoir at the gate, even after recent heavy snow. Plenty of traffic around the reservoir heading to the falls for ice climbing. | Flatland14er |

| Directions: | Less than 1 mile south of Hoosier Pass, take the County Road (CR) 4 west from Colorado 9. Start measuring mileage when you turn onto CR 4. At 0.3 miles, stay straight. At 0.6 miles, stay straight. At 0.8 miles, go right on the higher road. At 1.4 miles, reach the parking area at Montgomery Reservoir. Cross a small bridge and continue around the reservoir. Near 1.6 miles, the road gets a little rough. Climb the hill for a bit and locate a turn-off to the left - at 1.7 miles. Turn left and park near a water shed and concrete wall. This is the trailhead.
