Lead King Basin Trailhead

Status Updates

  CAMPING RESERVATION REQUIRED
A reservation is now required to camp at Geneva Lake and permits are very limited. If you cannot reserve a camp spot and still want to hike Snowmass Mountain from Lead King Basin, your best option is to day hike it from your parking spot. For reference, here's a map of the new permit-required zones. To check for permits go to recreation.gov and select the permit zone that includes Snowmass Lake.

Info: We attempted to get up here on 6/10 and the road was very wet and muddy and we only made it 2 miles past Marble, though we only had a 2WD. Local hotel owners say a 20-foot avalanche across the road blocks access to Crystal as of some time last week. I could not verify this myself, though as we did not make it up that far.
