6/24/2007 Posted On: 6/24/2007 By: Denvergriz Info: The trailhead is clear up to approx 1.4 miles. A small stream is there and it looks passable. 5 4WD cars had decided to try it and made it. | ||||
6/15/2007 Posted On: 6/15/2007 By: pvnisher Info: Made it up fine in a mod. Cherokee. Saw a few Liberty's all the way up, though. No snow whatsoever. | ||||
5/24/2007 Posted On: 5/24/2007 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: Clear to the upper (4WD) trailhead. A few muddy spots, but nothing major. This is a 4WD road and has some rocky sections. Good-clearance 4WD recommended. | ||||
3/12/2007 Posted On: 3/12/2007 By: mtnmike Info: as of 3.10, 2WD parking is clear & dry. 4WD trail is melting down fast and was accessible to vehicles for about 1/2 mile in. | ||||
5/29/2006 Posted On: 5/29/2006 By: jeffkoski Info: Free and clear. Made it to the 4WD parking in a stock 4runner with no problems. I would not take a small SUV on the 4WD section. | ||||
6/27/2005 Posted On: 6/27/2005 By: sisyphus Info: 6-22-05: The 4WD road to the trailhead is completely snow-free. This road seemed a little rougher than a few years ago, but I was fine with a Ford Explorer. There is one fairly deep water crossing with a steep exit that might stop a smaller vehicle, but a good mid-size SUV should be fine. | ||||
2/18/2005 Posted On: 2/18/2005 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: The South Mt. Elbert trailhead (125.1B road) requires 4WD in summer. In winter the road is closed and there is 2WD parking near the start. |
