Status Update
Gravel road is impassable for the winter even by 4x4 vehicles for 4 miles before trail head. Must park at parking lot located in grassland 100 yards below the lower tree line. Snow is ~1.5 ft deep on road and has been traveled by snowmobile last week or so.
I was able to hike and stay on top of the crust with plain boots if I stayed in the snow mobile tracks. If I was off to the side, I was post holding.
Allow at least 4 extra hours for the round trip.
