11/25/2007 Posted On: 11/25/2007 By: Kiefer Info: The road past the town of Twin Lakes is packed powder with bare spots. The closer to the actual trailhead you drive, the road is completely plowed and packed powder. The trailhead itself has powder on the ground but nothing more than 3". Jeeps and 4x4 vehicles (or all wheel drive) can actually make it all the way in to the trailhead for McNasser Gulch. | ||||
