5/19/2007 Posted On: 5/19/2007 By: ScottN Info: Crags Campground is open. You could drive your Geo Metro up the road. Completely snow-free and any car could make it up. | ||||
4/22/2007 Posted On: 4/22/2007 By: Kevin Baker Info: I did a hike in the area and decided to see if the road to the Crags TH is passable. You will still need 4WD as there is still around a foot of snow on the road with deep ruts. The snow begins about 1/2 mile past the Mennonite camp. Early in the morning it will be very icy in spots. I would expect it to melt out in a week or two barring any significant storms. | ||||
3/20/2007 Posted On: 3/20/2007 By: CO Native Info: Road is open just beyond the Mennonite Camp. Impassable beyond there. Many people have tried though and gotten stuck. No one maintains beyond that point anymore until the campground opens up for the summer. | ||||
3/6/2007 Posted On: 3/6/2007 By: DTM Info: As of 03/03/07 There is still tons of snow on the trail from the Menonnite campground. There's a parking area a little ways up the trail from the M. campground, where the plow stops, i guess. From there, even if you have 4WD, there's a very high likelihood you'll be completely stuck, very quickly. The snow is very stomped down tho, so traveling by foot is easy, you can go w/o snowshoes up to Crags TH. From there, snowshoes are neccesary. | ||||
1/2/2007 Posted On: 1/2/2007 By: jmd_10 Info: Lots 'o snow. The road leading to the trailhead is plowed to about 1/2 mile past the Mennonite camp. From there people are parking and hiking the rest of the way to the trailhead so get an extra early start if you plan on taking this route. | ||||
10/23/2006 Posted On: 10/23/2006 By: CO Native Info: TH is still accessible by any vehicle, though snow is on the road so good tires would be a good idea. | ||||
4/19/2006 Posted On: 4/19/2006 By: Starkey Info: The road is clear all the way to the campground. There might be some mud from snow runoff in the afternoon. | ||||
2/18/2006 Posted On: 2/18/2006 By: CO Native Info: Any car with good tires can make it to the campground. Getting through the campground would take a 4X4 | ||||
10/31/2005 Posted On: 10/31/2005 By: CO Native Info: A lot of new snow fell on October 30th. Reaching the TH is probably not possible in regular passenger cars, I would suspect Subarus and other AWD cars with decent clearance can still make it. | ||||
10/13/2005 Posted On: 10/13/2005 By: CO Native Info: Recent snows have made the road muddy and messy. May be difficult in low clearance 2wd cars now. | ||||
6/28/2005 Posted On: 6/28/2005 By: CO Native Info: Road is open and has been grades since the winter. 2WD vehicles can get to the TH, though still a couple of rough spots. | ||||
6/14/2005 Posted On: 6/14/2005 By: cbell94 Info: the road to the trailhead is completely snowfree and passable to regular passenger vehicles. If you camp, camp in a number of campsites on the left before you get to the crags campground so you can camp for free instead of paying $11. | ||||
5/30/2005 Posted On: 5/30/2005 By: downhilldave Info: 5-26-2005: Road was clear and passable by a passenger car with no problems. There are a few snow drifts still remaining in the trees. | ||||
5/21/2005 Posted On: 5/21/2005 By: Tommy Dorr Info: The road to the Crags Camp is now totally accessible, even to regular passenger cars. The parking lot will accommodate at least twenty vehicles, but it does fill up quick. | ||||
5/11/2005 Posted On: 5/11/2005 By: CO Native Info: Road is pretty much clear to the campground. Very rough though, still not graded after the winter damage. |
