5/20/2010 Posted On: 5/20/2010 By: giarcd Info: Hiked up the trail a couple of hours to about 9500‘. Two or three small slides over trail and the proverbial small trees to step over yet the trail was fine to that point.(short update) | ||||
1/17/2010 Posted On: 1/29/2010 By: sgladbach Info: There is a parking lot plowed out at mile 10.7 just before you cross the creek. Walk the road 0.6 miles to the summer TH at Snowmass Ranch. | ||||
11/30/2009 Posted On: 11/30/2009 By: AlexMack Info: Drove all the way to the TH in a stock Ford Ranger w/ 4wd pretty easily. On the way out, after going over the first bridge 1/2 mile or so from the TH i saw a Road Closed sign. Not quite sure how I would have driven past this without seeing it so it might have happened during the day while hiking (11.28). Still, should be able to drive within about 1/2 mile of the TH if not all the way. | ||||
5/17/2009 Posted On: 5/17/2009 By: giarcd Info: Dry all the way to Snowmass Falls Ranch gate----no more snow. | ||||
5/6/2009 Posted On: 5/6/2009 By: lordhelmut Info: Open to the very end. There is an area of snow literally right before the TH that high centered a Landcruiser, took around 30 minutes to dig out. With enough speed and clearance, it‘ll be a non-issue. Should be melted out within a couple days anyway. | ||||
3/18/2009 Posted On: 3/18/2009 By: warg Info: As of 3/15/2009 only open to winter trailhead, just .7 miles from the actual trailhead. And the road to the actual trailhead has been used by snowmobiles and is easy travelling. | ||||

6/11/2007 Posted On: 6/11/2007 By: Chicago Transplant Info: Open and dry, easily passable for 2WD from "Old Snowmass". Put it this way, there was a Miata at the TH. The creek crossing at the beaver dams is low enough to cross on the log jam cautiously. Above that there is snow patches in the woods as you near the lake. | ||||
