2 4/29/2025 Posted On: 4/30/2025 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: OPEN! A couple of snow banks immediately before the trailhead loop but no problems getting past. No porta-potties yet and I don’t know if they will place any at the trailhead this summer. | 1 |

11/23/2024 Posted On: 11/23/2024 By: bigfoot1 Info: Ok so I didn't make it up here, but as I was walking the road back, a GMC SUV said they were able to make it within 300-400 ft of the trailhead, and the pickup behind them was able to make it up all the way after they put chains on their tires. GMC driver said chains were necessary. | 2 |

11/2/2024 Posted On: 11/2/2024 By: bigfoot1 Info: 5 large trucks/suvs around 9am, 6 vehicles around 3pm. no snow at all on road | ||||
10/25/2024 Posted On: 10/25/2024 By: wanderlust073 Info: Road is clear and dry end to end. Couple ruts that would probably be bad for a car. No port-o-potty's at the TH. | ||||
9/6/2024 Posted On: 9/6/2024 By: bigfoot1 Info: Unable to make it to trailhead at all with a 3.5" clearance car. Scraped bottom twice right after the road changes to a forest service road and had to turn around. I don't think any car with less than 6" clearance will make it over the ruts without bottoming out. | ||||
7/23/2024 Posted On: 7/23/2024 By: hsfedina Info: Trailhead great. Easy to get there in Mazda cx-5no problems. Plenty of parking. | ||||
7/13/2024 Posted On: 7/15/2024 By: Jonny41Goodbyes Info: Trailhead is in great shape, the drive up took no more than 25 minutes from the start of the dirt road in my Xterra...should be able to make it up in any car though. Just a few holes to watch out for. Get there early as it was packed when we arrived at 5:10 am. | ||||
4/25/2024 Posted On: 4/25/2024 By: jmanner Info: Road is almost clear to within a half mile of the trailhead, theres a long patch of snow about 1.2-1 mile from the upper trailhead but someone drove through it and its probably accessible for 4WD vehicles now. | ||||
4/21/2024 Posted On: 4/21/2024 By: Levi L4 Info: Driveable to the silver Creek th by basically any car (maybe one snow patch it's nice to have like 6 or 7 inches of clearance). Not really driveable much farther in basically any car and no good pull out point | 2 |

10/21/2023 Posted On: 10/22/2023 By: brchristensen Info: Dirt road is in fair condition overall. Occasional potholes but a 2WD could handle easily. No snow or ice. | ||||
9/9/2023 Posted On: 9/11/2023 By: enoki Info: Road not bad at all. Worst part was the right hand turn into the parking area (which is avoidable by just going left instead) Still 2 port-a-potties, but both were close to their usable limit. Not sure how often they get serviced or what periods of the year they're up there. | ||||
9/8/2023 Posted On: 9/13/2023 By: hatterasdunton Info: Definitely drivable in a low clearance 2WD as long as you are comfortable navigating slowly | ||||
6/17/2023 Posted On: 6/17/2023 By: Logan5280 Info: Snow free to trailhead. My very low-clearance 2wd prius made it up there with minimal trouble. It's slightly muddy from recent rain, but not bad at all. | ||||
5/18/2023 Posted On: 5/18/2023 By: dennywitte Info: Road is drivable by any 2wd vehicle. A few bumps and a few snow piles near the trailhead. Portapotties are at the TH. | ||||
12/4/2022 Posted On: 12/4/2022 By: nsaladin Info: ATV trench from winter Columbia route to N Cottonwood Creek TH. ~8-10 of snow in the road, a truck/full frame SUV with A/T tires would make it to N. Cottonwood Creek TH as of today. Storm coming in Tuesday May negate all of the above. | 3 |
