9/5/2020 Posted On: 9/5/2020 By: sky_high Info: Reiterating prior report. Road is open. Rangers are issuing warnings for those in 'no parking' zones. Lot was full by 3am, by 4 had to park 1/2 mile away along roadside. If you get there by 5 or later good luck, expect to park well away or wait for hours for people who are leaving. No reservation/pass needed if parked before 6am: Rangers may check cars in the lot for parking time but didn't along the roadside. Campground is closed indefinitely. | ||||

2/9/2014 Posted On: 2/9/2014 By: Michael Underwood Info: This is always one of the most accessible trailheads in the winter, but for those of you with 2WD and no snow tires, be careful going up the paved road to the parking lot - it‘s pretty snowy currently, and you can definitely slip around a bit as you negotiate the turns. I saw an SUV in the ditch and some skid marks in the snow, indicating another car that had run into a bank of plowed snow beside the road. Also, the parking area can get a bit cramped at the moment since not all of it has been plowed, restricting the official parking area to the first few spaces. | ||||
9/27/2013 Posted On: 9/27/2013 By: Tyler Phillips Info: Longs Peak Road and Trailhead had been reopened. | ||||
9/22/2013 Posted On: 9/23/2013 By: Eagle Eye Info: Longs Peak TH closed On 9/22/2013 I found a barricade on the road closure leading to the trailhead/parking lot. The sign says: TEMPORARY CLOSURE: DUE TO FLOODING AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE THIS AREA IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE |
