11/20/2011 Posted On: 11/21/2011 By: d_baker Info: The road to the Crags TH is drivable on packed snow/ice. We used 4x4 but it may not have been necessary. The trail itself to Devil‘s Playground and to the summit was packed and snowshoes are not needed at this time. We carried micro-spikes but did not need them either. | ||||
11/7/2011 Posted On: 11/8/2011 By: CO Native Info: Trailhead is still driveable with 2wd vehicles that have decent tires and moderate clearance. I drove a 2wd Patriot up there and had no issues at all. Cars with very low clearance will drag bottom. | ||||
10/24/2011 Posted On: 10/25/2011 By: mrschaible Info: Clear of all snow, but that will change with the coming storm on Tuesday! | ||||
9/16/2011 Posted On: 9/16/2011 By: mrschaible Info: Road is in great shape after the recent rains. No problems in a 2wd car. | ||||
7/26/2011 Posted On: 7/30/2011 By: huffy13 Info: The road to the trailhead is one of the smoothest, best roads to a trailhead I have been on so far. No vehicle should have any trouble getting to parking area. While the parking area is large, I can see it filling up quickly on the weekends. Clean vault toilet facilities are available. | ||||
7/6/2011 Posted On: 8/1/2011 By: tmccormack Info: Easy dirt road all the way to the trail head and any car should be able to make it just fine. | ||||
5/20/2011 Posted On: 5/23/2011 By: Theodore Info: Road and parking lot were damp, but free of all snow. Any car should be fine! | ||||
4/9/2011 Posted On: 4/9/2011 By: BobbyFinn Info: The road was a little icy in the morning, but on the way out it was just a little wet. There was some snow on the road, but your tires will be on dirt 99% of the time. We saw 2wd vehicles at the TH. | ||||
2/27/2011 Posted On: 2/27/2011 By: mrschaible Info: Road is open to passenger cars all the way to the trailhead parking lot. | ||||
2/10/2011 Posted On: 2/10/2011 By: Dancesatmoonrise Info: The road is plowed just beyond the Menonite Camp, to the lower parking area on the right. From there to the new TH parking, I was able to make it in an AWD SUV. Edit: There‘s about a foot of new snow with this recent storm. Track is now in to the bowl. See Conditions thread. | ||||
2/3/2011 Posted On: 2/3/2011 By: Kevin Baker Info: The new trailhead is probably still accessible by 2wd as of today, although a few inches of snow fell. It get packed down pretty quick with heavy use. | ||||
1/25/2011 Posted On: 1/26/2011 By: mrschaible Info: Road is open and driveable by a 2wd Toyota Prius | ||||
1/15/2011 Posted On: 1/16/2011 By: GeorgeB Info: Mostly packed snow with some exposed dirt. No problem for AWD/4WD, probably doable in 2WD. Crags trail is also packed, no need for snowshoes. New trailhead is now well signed and has FS restrooms. | ||||
12/26/2010 Posted On: 12/26/2010 By: Vangrove Info: Crags Road is slight snow pack and down to dirt in places, easily drivable to new trailhead before the campground. I did the trail to Devil‘s Playground at Pikes Peak Highway today. Booted it all the way. Had micro-spikes but never used them. | ||||
12/24/2010 Posted On: 12/25/2010 By: geosean Info: Essentially no snow on the road. Traction devices may be helpful, but not required. |
