2 5/10/2014 Posted On: 5/11/2014 By: tdallred Info: There are a couple minor snowdrifts within 1/4 mile of the trailhead but they can be easily navigated even with low clearance. Otherwise the road is clear and dry as of 6PM. | ||||
3/10/2014 Posted On: 3/11/2014 By: Zambo Info: CO 365 is relatively clear up until 2.75 miles from the N. Cottonwood Creek TH (1.25 miles from the junction with the Colorado Trail). Up to this point, the snow was sporadic and deep in some spots, but nothing that a 4WD Subie couldn't handle. There is a small lot just past Creek Run Road junction where we parked. Beyond this spot, the snow becomes much more sustained and impassable. We spent a good half hour digging out a Grand Cherokee. The new snows will obviously make the lower road tougher, but give it a few days of sun and I would think these spots would be clear again for any competent 4WD. | ||||
1/26/2014 Posted On: 1/26/2014 By: Somewhat of a Prick Info: You can get to with 3-3.5 miles of the summer trailhead on CO 365 | ||||
10/27/2013 Posted On: 10/28/2013 By: swalshdog Info: Road is in great shape. I drove my Imprezza with very low clearance to the TH, no problems and no snow on the road at the moment. Could change this week? | ||||
10/7/2013 Posted On: 10/8/2013 By: 2 left ft Info: Road was dry - no snow at all. | ||||
9/15/2013 Posted On: 9/16/2013 By: alpinenut Info: Road is fine. Saw a Civic at the "4wd TH" on Sat the 14th. If you‘re in a 2wd enter the parking lot from the left. The right entrance is actually the worst part of the road. Drove out on the 15th. Even after rain most of the day, the road was great. | ||||
7/2/2013 Posted On: 7/2/2013 By: Hiker Mike Info: There has been some work done on the last few miles to the trailhead recently. The potholes have all been filled in with fresh gravel and some of the bigger rocks have been cleared off the road as well. | ||||
6/1/2013 Posted On: 6/2/2013 By: My-Therapy Info: Clear, dry, dusty, and suitable for probably any vehicle including a 2wd, barring you don‘t drive a low rider. | 2 |

5/22/2013 Posted On: 5/23/2013 By: benglish Info: Clear and dry all the way to TH. | ||||
11/20/2012 Posted On: 11/20/2012 By: Jump Roper Info: Almost no snow at all on road. Washboard isn‘t too bad either. | 1 |

10/14/2012 Posted On: 10/14/2012 By: zdero1 Info: Having driven this road in May and again in July, I can say that the road conditions have deteriorated over the past few months with more washboarding and potholes (vast majority on right side while going up the road) present. I‘d say the roughest patch is around the 2.0-2.3 mile area. Still, this road would be easily traversed in a 2wd and in no way should this update detur anyone from driving it. No trace of snow on the road or at the TH even after this weekend‘s round of snow showers. | ||||
10/7/2012 Posted On: 10/8/2012 By: 14er Fan Info: The road and parking lot are still in great condition and don't have any snow on them. Our sedan made it up the road just fine. | ||||
7/21/2012 Posted On: 7/21/2012 By: jsdratm Info: I took my 2WD matrix up the road and had no problem whatsoever. There were maybe two places where you could damage your low clearance car if you aren‘t looking out, but otherwise the road was great. Much better than the road to the Elbert and Massive trailheads. | ||||
5/22/2012 Posted On: 5/23/2012 By: Sugar Madison Info: Clear to North CT/Harvard Lakes trailhead (and likely beyond). Road has been regraded to at least there, and is totally fine in a 2wd car. | ||||
5/19/2012 Posted On: 5/20/2012 By: zdero1 Info: The road to the TH remains snow free and in exceptional condition. I don‘t know how this road and Cinnamon pass to American Basin TH can both be rated 3/6. This road is more like the road to Missouri Gulch TH (2/6). Even the Flintstone Mobile could get to this TH (and you‘d only end up with a few blisters). |
