| 2009-07-10 | Road to Navajo Lake Trailhead in great shape. Trail to Navajo Lake and basin free of snow. | Pappy |
| 2009-05-20 | BLM office said you can access the trailhead by vehicle, but significant snow remains about a mile into the trail. | tmathews |
| 2008-08-26 | This trailhead is by no means 4wd. My first time there was in a VW Jetta and the second in a Honda Civic. No problems either time. Didn‘t even have to drive all that slow. | CO Native |
| 2008-06-13 | Road is clear to trailhead. | PKR |
| 2007-07-13 | Dry and 2WD. | cotajames |
| 2006-05-19 | The road is clear from the NE except for one small patch of snow about 12 inches high. We were able to cross easily in a front drive sedan. | KenE |
| 2005-07-13 | We drove to Navajo Lake TH from the eastern approach off of CO145 just south of Lizard Head Pass on Friday July 8. The road is narrow and steep in sections, but is well-graded and easily passable by any vehicle to the TH. | coloradoscott |
| 2005-06-06 | Navajo Lake trailhead can now be reached IF you approach from the south (thru Dunton). If approaching from the east, the road is closed 1.3 miles short of the trailhead due to a rockslide. | rthompson |
| 2005-06-01 | On 5/29 there was a sign at the start of the road to Navajo stating that the road was closed at about the 8 mile point. This would have been ok since the TH for Navajo is at around 7.2 mi according to Roach. Unfortunately, the road is blocked at about 2 miles or so by a huge snow pile. | daveartusi |
