Info: CO 82 is dry and clear to the La Plata Trailhead and beyond. The full width of the road isn‘t clear but cars can pass one another. There‘s room for 3-4 cars on one side of the road and a few more on the other side.

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.
