Info: The road is re-opened for the season, drove up on 6/21/06 and it is dry and clear. There are bathrooms and a campground at the trailhead now that I can't remember being there in the past?

Info: Just called the Forest Service to find out about the dates for this year's seasonal Elk closure. The road is scheduled to open on June 20th. Please refrain from hiking in the area until this date. Thanks!

Info: The road is open all the way to the trailhead; however, the road is closed at the entrance to the Halfmoon trailhead parking area/campground so you must park on the side of the road.

Info: Went up on 6-30 and found the road open and completely clear of snow (unsurprisingly). The road is definitely passable for passenger cars, but look out for some fairly good sized potholes near the beginning and near the very top.

Info: The Tigiwon Road is currently closed from May 1 until June 20 to allow for Elk calving. There is a closed and locked gate with this message on it about a mile up from the start of the road. Please respect wildlife closures, as Elk may abandon their calves if they are frightened by hikers.
