2/9/2014 Posted On: 2/9/2014 By: Michael Underwood Info: This is always one of the most accessible trailheads in the winter, but for those of you with 2WD and no snow tires, be careful going up the paved road to the parking lot - it‘s pretty snowy currently, and you can definitely slip around a bit as you negotiate the turns. I saw an SUV in the ditch and some skid marks in the snow, indicating another car that had run into a bank of plowed snow beside the road. Also, the parking area can get a bit cramped at the moment since not all of it has been plowed, restricting the official parking area to the first few spaces. | ||||
9/27/2013 Posted On: 9/27/2013 By: Tyler Phillips Info: Longs Peak Road and Trailhead had been reopened. | ||||
9/22/2013 Posted On: 9/23/2013 By: Eagle Eye Info: Longs Peak TH closed On 9/22/2013 I found a barricade on the road closure leading to the trailhead/parking lot. The sign says: TEMPORARY CLOSURE: DUE TO FLOODING AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE THIS AREA IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE | ||||

2/9/2012 Posted On: 2/11/2012 By: richwill Info: Longs Peak Road plowed & mostly clean all the way to rangers station. Accessable in any vehicle with decent tires. | ||||
4/23/2011 Posted On: 4/27/2011 By: mountainmicah83 Info: Ranger‘s Station parking lot was dry as were the roads leading to it. | ||||
3/2/2011 Posted On: 3/6/2011 By: Dancesatmoonrise Info: Plowed roads to plowed parking at the ranger station (TH.) We had the place to ourselves; parking was no issue. The trail was hard packed most of the way. We wore snowshoes but the track is firm, with the exception of some of the brush in the 11‘s. The boulderfield is dry. The approach to Cables has considerably more snow than we‘d seen in prior winter trip reports. The first eyebolt is under about four feet of snow. | ||||
9/26/2009 Posted On: 9/26/2009 By: Urban Snowshoer Info: Any recent snow and/or ice affects only higher up areas (12,000+ feet), so the trailhead should still be dry. | ||||
9/26/2009 Posted On: 9/26/2009 By: Urban Snowshoer Info: Previous posters have pointed out how quickly the parking lot fills up. Be mindful of where you park, as I‘ve been on at least on trip where the car got towed because it was parked in the wrong place--the rules do get enforced. |
