11/5/2012 Posted On: 11/6/2012 By: bhollamby Info: Road is still clear and completely passable by passenger car. It is a bit bumpy though so take it slow. Be aware that the hunters hurrying up and down the road in their trucks don‘t run into you... | ||||
10/5/2012 Posted On: 10/7/2012 By: wincoder Info: The road is bumpy (washboarded) but easily passable in any vehicle. There are bathrooms at the TH. They are in pretty good shape too. Nice walk up part of the Colorado trail with the Aspen leaves on the ground. | ||||
9/15/2012 Posted On: 9/16/2012 By: barryfagin Info: Took a Toyota Corolla to this trailhead no problem. Some washboarded areas, large rocks, but if you just use common sense and drive carefully, any passenger car can reach it just fine. | ||||
9/8/2012 Posted On: 9/10/2012 By: michaelgrundy Info: Was able to make it all the way up to the trail head in a small passenger car. There are a few sections of washboard and a few other areas of decent size rocks to avoid but overall is in good shape. | ||||
8/27/2012 Posted On: 8/27/2012 By: bking14ers Info: I was able to drive a Toyota Yaris all the way to the Blank Gulch TH. Easily passable with any car that is able to drive on semi-rough roads. The road is rocky, and has some wash boarding in a few places. You will have to drive over some cattle barriers along the way. The trail up is very rocky and rugged, and signed very well. I think I was on the East Slopes Trail. Not sure... There where a lot of blown down tree‘s on the trail, but they have all been cleared off. | ||||
6/3/2012 Posted On: 6/4/2012 By: talusman Info: The road to the trailhead is dry and in good condition. Passenger cars should be able to make it to the trailhead without problem. The trail up Shavano is free of snow and downed trees. There‘s very little snow in the Angel. We did not do the traverse to Tabeguache so cannot report on conditions, but it looked pretty dry also. | 1 |

5/5/2012 Posted On: 5/6/2012 By: Hunter Info: Road is dry all the way to the TH. Downed trees have been cut and cleared. Prius did fine so any vehicle should be good to go. FS bathroom was out of TP so be sure to pack your own. | ||||
4/2/2012 Posted On: 4/3/2012 By: dannyg23 Info: The road in was very drivable with the exception of a large snow drift that was to large to drive through in my pickup. The drift is a little less than 2 miles from the TH. Sorry I didn‘t manage any pictures of the snow drift, but I marked the spot with my GPS and have included a google earth image so you can get a rough idea. The drift is at aproximatly 9058‘ | ||||
3/23/2012 Posted On: 3/23/2012 By: gregpeak Info: The road is blocked by a big solid snow drift about 2 miles from the trailhead. | ||||
3/9/2012 Posted On: 3/10/2012 By: Dad Mike Info: The road is mostly snow packed past the 7 miles to TH sign. I was able to go about 3.5 miles from there in a jeep wrangler without too much difficulty. It took me a little over 4 miles to get to the Shav/Tab & CO Trail junction from where I parked. | 2 |
