4/26/2019 Posted On: 4/29/2019 By: gb Info: Road is clear and open to Cataract. .5 miles past the Cataract trailhead is the first of many historically large avalanches blocking the road with thousands of downed trees- one of the largest and most destructive slides I have seen. Debris covered approx .6 miles of road and took 1.5 hours to navigate. Road to Cuba would encounter several other large slides, though I do not believe any would be quite as large as the first one. | ||||

5/4/2015 Posted On: 5/4/2015 By: San Juan Ron Info: Clear 1.3 miles beyond Cataract Gulch before you encounter sporadic drifts. If you are creative, you can get maybe another .5 mile. SJ Ron :) | ||||
2/14/2015 Posted On: 2/15/2015 By: SnowAlien Info: TH is open and plowed to Cataract Gulch TH. Snowmobile track for initial 2 miles, bootpack/snowshoe and now skin track after that. Tracks appeared to have continued in the direction of Snare gulch past the Boulder gulch turnoff. | ||||
6/13/2014 Posted On: 6/13/2014 By: San Juan Ron Info: Open to within .5 mile or so of TH. Road is a bit rough. I recommend parking at 4M from split with CR 30 or just beyond creek crossing. SJ Ron :) | ||||
6/5/2014 Posted On: 6/5/2014 By: San Juan Ron Info: You can drive 1.9 miles beyond the Cataract Gulch TH before you encounter a major slide area with lots of downed trees. SJ Ron :) | ||||
5/25/2014 Posted On: 5/27/2014 By: Ski4me Info: The road still has snow drifts about 1.5 miles past Grouse/Burns Gulch Trailhead. We decided to climb Half Peak and not Jones as we were not sure our 4x4 would not get stuck on one of the drifts. | ||||
3/16/2014 Posted On: 3/17/2014 By: sdkeil Info: Road is plowed and clear to the winter closure at the Cataract Gulch TH. | ||||
4/27/2013 Posted On: 4/28/2013 By: San Juan Ron Info: The usual snow barricade is easily crossed. You can get to within 1.5 miles of Cuba Gulch THs before large snowfields become an major issue. SJ Ron :) | ||||
5/28/2012 Posted On: 5/29/2012 By: 14ersKen Info: 05/28/2012- Cuba Gulch trail head is open all the way to the trailhead. It is 3.4 miles up. At 2.5 miles you cross a creek that is probably 8 inches deep, not too bad. The road is pretty rough in spots. I made it safely in my Subaru Outback. | ||||
7/3/2011 Posted On: 7/4/2011 By: Wyoming Bob Info: Road clear and dry but for stream crossing. Crossing was a non issue in stock Tacoma (6 to 12" water, solid gravel bed). Driveable road terminates 3.4 miles beyond Cataract Gulch TH. |
