6/29/2008 Posted On: 6/29/2008 By: Grover Info: Totally clear for me today. I made it all the way to the 4x4 parking area, as did many other vehicles. Sure, there is lots of water in some spots, but nothing troubling. For Huron itself, there are two prominent snow fields in the basin between Browns and Huron. Plenty of foot holes to step in. Very soggy in that area though. | ||||
6/27/2008 Posted On: 6/27/2008 By: Zippoman Info: I drove through the snowbank on the road with no problems. When we got back there were three other vehicles at the 4WD trailhead. A few more days and the snow will be gone. | ||||
6/21/2008 Posted On: 6/21/2008 By: realhillboarding Info: the snowdrift is still covering the road with a couple feet of snow 1/4 mile from the trailhead. There were some tire tracks in the mud on the other side of the drift suggesting someone had driven over it, but i have no idea how they got through it. It looks like it will be a few more weeks before it is melted, but there are plenty of places to park shortly before the blockage. | ||||
6/8/2008 Posted On: 6/8/2008 By: lordhelmut Info: Was up there sunday 6/8. My friend‘s Outback made it about 1/2 miles passed the 4wd sign before running his front end into a steep section near a creek. Any stock vehicle could make it to within 1/4 mile of the 4wd parking lot right now. Leftover avalanche debris stretches for about 50 yards just before the lot, but isn‘t very deep, i‘m guessing by the middle of the month, most vehicles will be able to make it to the end of the road. Lot of snow up on the peaks though, Huron and the Apostles. | ||||
6/8/2008 Posted On: 6/8/2008 By: lordhelmut Info: EDIT : any 4wd high clearance vehicle will be able to make it to within 1/4 of the 4wd lot in a few days, I just remembered there was one snow drift high enough to stop any vehicle in its tracks, but it only covers half the road, anyone with a shovel and interest could pave a way for themselves. | ||||
6/2/2008 Posted On: 6/2/2008 By: Chicago Transplant Info: The avalanche debris has melted out and the road is now passable to the 2WD parking area. This was a big slide that even knocked a house off its foundations! The road becomes solid snow right at the sign marking the start of the 4WD road. Its going to be several weeks before anyone gets all the way to the summer trailhead. | ||||
5/19/2008 Posted On: 5/19/2008 By: RoanMtnMan Info: Road still blocked just short of Winfield by avalanche debris. The snow was cement and would likely be passible in frozen conditions, but be wary, you won‘t get back through once the snow softens later in the day. | ||||
5/15/2008 Posted On: 5/15/2008 By: Titan_20 Info: The road is drifted about 2.5 miles from winifeild. About .25-.5 miles of drifts and then it could be driven the rest of the way to winifeild. Probably will be passible by 4X4‘s in a few days. | ||||
4/27/2008 Posted On: 4/27/2008 By: KeithK Info: Road is impassable ~3.5 miles from the Missouri Gulch trailhead; the snow looks to be 18-24" deep for as far up the road as I could see. | ||||
3/7/2008 Posted On: 3/7/2008 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: Rode a snowmobile all the way to the Winfield and the road had plenty of well-packed, snow. Rode 1/2 mile up the Huron 4WD road before encountering a deep dip in the road. It‘s possible to ride around it, but I didn‘t bother because I was just exploring. Deep, deep snow on the 4WD road, but a snowmobile could get you at least within 1.5 miles of the upper trailhead. | ||||
11/12/2007 Posted On: 11/12/2007 By: jamienellis Info: Steep, icy section at the start of the 4WD TH as of 11/9/07. Could not get past this section in a Pathfinder in low-range 4WD...just slipped right back down it! | ||||
11/12/2007 Posted On: 11/12/2007 By: Yog Info: Was able to make it past initial icy section at the beginning of the 4x4 road after slipping backwards on the first try. Not sure I would do it again though. Rest of the road is icy and snowpacked in spots. | ||||
10/29/2007 Posted On: 10/29/2007 By: Cheesehead Info: 4x4 road open to the TH rough but no problem w/clearance | ||||
6/12/2007 Posted On: 6/12/2007 By: Alex Info: TH is in a good shape, but some road improvement is being done now. It may cause some substantial delay on yor way back, especially if you have a car with low clearance. | ||||
