1/16/2007 Posted On: 1/16/2007 By: jerryz Info: According to the directons to Halfmoon Creek. When you make a right turn and get on the good dirt road you can go for about 1 mi to where the snow plowing stops. You can park in this area. To the trailhead it is about another 4 miles, Take your snowshoes. | ||||

5/1/2005 Posted On: 5/1/2005 By: Chicago Transplant Info: I drove the Halfmoon Creek Road on Wednesday April 27th. At that time it was clear of snow and passable for 2WD vehicles to the Campground (1 mile short of trailhead). It has snowed recently and there may be some snow or muddy sections along the road, but the main winter snowpack has melted out up to the campground. 4WD vehicles could continue, but there were large sections of slushy snow across the road, sometimes a foot deep or more. | ||||
2/18/2005 Posted On: 2/18/2005 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: The Halfmoon road is closed in winter - typically only a short distance from County Road 11. It normally melts out in early May. Check with the U.S. Forest Service for TH access. |
