Posted On: 8/4/2024 By: Mark Goldstein
Info: Road was dry and slightly bumpy. Most 2WD vehicles will get to the trailhead. Nice and clean. A couple of parking spot available. Enjoy!

Info: The two creek crossings had no more than 6" depth of water. A handful of modest ruts, a regular sedan can make it no problem provided you slow down and pick a good line when encountering these few mini-obstacles. A Lexus ES300 sedan was exiting as I arrived yesterday

Info: Trailhead is okay. Reached in a Subaru Impreza Hatchback (low clearance).
3 or 4 cars parked there on Saturday at 7am.
Rained earlier in the night. Made the dirt road muddy. Almost couldn't get up one hill.
Map looked like 4 creek crossings, but 2 go under the road. Both were deeper I would've preferred.
A couple of downed trees, but easily avoidable.

Info: Road is clear of snow this season. Several downed trees across the road have been cut through by a gentleman from Gunnison. The 2 creeks to drive through are low enough to drive through with a Mazda CX-30 with no issues.

Info: 2WD low-clearance road all the way to the TH. Made it in an Accord no problem. Creeks are very low right now, so crossing is not a problem.

Info: You can zoom zoom on the country roads but caution after Chavez Creek. Some of the road cuts have a big drop on the backside.

Camping (not marked) in the few miles right before the TH, or go another .3 miles to the outhouses and camp in the big open area there.

Info: Both creek crossings an inch or less water flow at present. Beware the bees and wasps if camping at the trailhead under the trees. Fortunately did not get stung or get any in the tent but they were thick in that area.

Info: No problem reaching that trailhead with an outback, and I would think it'd be true for any vehicle. It's just long, and there are "surprise" short rougher sections that warrant to never get complacent with the general great and smooth nature of the road.
Also if of interest to anyone, I left towards Lake City by using the shortcut on 794-2B then 8EE to Cathedral then CR 50 West to hwy 149, and these are fine too. Some rocky sections require slower and cautious driving, especially since this is not the right place to have car trouble.

Info: The creek crossings were passable in my lil, low-clearance 2WD mazda3! The second one is running a bit higher than the first. See pic of second crossing.

Info: Road to TH is in good shape. 2 creek water crossing. Right now it's probably 2-3 in deep. Almost any car can make it fine.
Trail to San Luis free of snow all the way up. Beautiful views.

Info: Coming from Parlin, county roads were in pretty good shape. Never put the car (older 4Runner) in 4WD. The two creek crossings were only a couple inches deep. Except for some steeper hill sections and the water probably would be drive-able for smaller vehicles but definitely no problem for anything with a little clearance and power.

Info: Road is clear to TH, pretty easy drive except maybe 5% which needs higher clearance. Creek crossings were fine in a Subaru forester (pics attached), water was probably about 4 inches deep.

Info: The road is snow free to the TH but both creek crossings are running quite strongly due to the plentiful snowfall last winter. Would not attempt in anything low clearance yet.
