4/30/2011 Posted On: 5/3/2011 By: Carl Info: 2wd cars could make it to the TH as of Saturday April 30th. | ||||
4/24/2011 Posted On: 4/24/2011 By: bhaydin Info: 4WD still good to have. About 4 inche of snow fell overnight but was well on its way to melting by the afternoon. Otherwise open to trailhead parking. | ||||
4/16/2011 Posted On: 4/18/2011 By: its_not_a_tuba Info: 4wd vehicles were able to get up to the TH. Some parties choose to park below a large snow drift on the road partially blocking access. | ||||
3/6/2011 Posted On: 3/7/2011 By: scholbiwan Info: Still only open to the 250/252 junction. Had to hike in the +3.2 miles to the actual Shavano trailhead | ||||
2/12/2011 Posted On: 2/13/2011 By: maverick_manley Info: Parked at the junction of CR 250 and FR 252 (~8800‘), 3.2 miles from TH and hoofed it from there. After having skinned it, I‘d say it‘s possible to drive at least another 0.5 mile up FR 252. | ||||
12/4/2010 Posted On: 12/4/2010 By: tmathews Info: Sitting at the TH right now. Road is mostly dry; there are some small areas of ice and snow in the last mile, but I‘d venture to guess that most cars could probably get to the TH with careful driving. Not sure for how much longer, though! | ||||
6/27/2010 Posted On: 6/28/2010 By: hberry Info: The road is in very good condition and can easily be driven with a 2WD vehicle with a bit of care. | ||||
5/15/2010 Posted On: 5/15/2010 By: Kevin8020 Info: The road to the trailhead is snow free and passable. | ||||
5/11/2010 Posted On: 5/13/2010 By: soybean56 Info: As of May 11 evening, there is a large tree down blocking passage on Chaffee 252 about 2.5 miles before the trailhead. I've contacted the forest service, but for now, you should take 250 to 250A to access the trailhead. Both Chaffee 252 and 250/250A are accessible by 2WD (except for the whole tree thing on 252). | ||||
5/2/2010 Posted On: 5/2/2010 By: Barrett Cooper Info: The snowdrift on 252 has receded enough to be able to pass by it. The trailhead is open via the standard drive up 252. | ||||
4/26/2010 Posted On: 4/26/2010 By: hberry Info: Take CR 250 to CR 250A instead of CR 252 and you will be able to make it all the way to the trailhead. CR 250 currently has a 200 ft long snow drift that is impassable by any vehicle. | ||||
4/18/2010 Posted On: 4/18/2010 By: Yalegirl09 Info: The road is dry to mile 4.8. At mile 4.8 there is an impassible snowdrift covering approx. 50 yds of the road. Once past the snow drift the trailhead should be easily accessible. | ||||
2/28/2010 Posted On: 3/2/2010 By: mountainmicah83 Info: impassable at 3.25 miles now. Modified 4X4 may be able to make it to 3. | ||||
2/21/2010 Posted On: 2/22/2010 By: mountainmicah83 Info: Road impassable by passenger vehicle 3 miles below summer TH due to deep snow to the summer TH. A 4WD is required for the prior 2 miles to that. | ||||
1/18/2010 Posted On: 1/18/2010 By: arnee05 Info: Snow drift blocks road about 2.5 miles before trailhead. Drift only about 100 ft. long but clearly impassable. Rest of the road to the TH is clear though. |
