5/20/2009 Posted On: 5/20/2009 By: Corndiggs Info: The ranch is now taking reservations for the summer. They told me the first day will be June 27th. Same number as posted below. | ||||
5/3/2009 Posted On: 5/3/2009 By: RoanMtnMan Info: As of 5/2/09 the TH was covered starting 1.6 miles above the ranch HQ. The ranch management will not let anyone past this mark in motorized vehicles until the snow melts. The snowpack on the road until 4-way is very water lubricated and makes for difficult travel with snowshoes or skis. | ||||
1/29/2009 Posted On: 1/29/2009 By: CO Native Info: The Cielo Vista Ranch will begin taking reservations on May 16th. You may contact the ranch at 254-897-7872 on that date to begin making reservations. | ||||
6/29/2008 Posted On: 6/29/2008 By: Rockymtnhigh69 Info: The trail up to Fourway is completely dry where our group parked. A couple of folks drove right up to the top parking lot with no problem. The road is in good shape. There are some ruts and some erosion from streams running down the road but they can be easily avoided with some care.. | ||||
7/22/2005 Posted On: 7/22/2005 By: downhilldave Info: The road to the gate and to the ranch HQ is maintained and in good shape (passable in a passenger car. There is some room at the gate to camp along the road. The road above the ranch gets steep and there are some waterbars and rocks in the road that would require a high-clearence car. | ||||
5/31/2005 Posted On: 5/31/2005 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: Reservations are required and there is a fee to hike the peak. Call 254-897-7872 for reservations or access information. The road to the ranch is always open but the ranch is gated. The ranch owners allow climbing during summer when the road to the trailhead is fully open (easy 4WD to 11,650'). |
