Road to Mount Blue Sky
Is the road from Idaho Springs to the Mount Blue Sky trailhead closed? We are planning a trip at the end of June. Thanks

Re: Road to Mount Blue Sky
You can get from Idaho Springs to Echo Lake, that's where the road is closed as noted at the link. They are repairing some road damage at Summit Lake.AylaDog-1079 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 03, 2025 11:50 am Is the road from Idaho Springs to the Mount Blue Sky trailhead closed?

Re: Road to Mount Blue Sky
Thanks for the responses. Looks like we need to do a different one this year. Blue Sky next year!
Re: Road to Mount Blue Sky
Blue Sky itself isn't closed. There are routes from Echo Lake and Guanella Pass (via Bierstadt/Sawtooth and otherwise) that can be used, but they are longer/harder/more involved than from Summit Lake.
