6/25/2022 Posted On: 6/25/2022 By: hsfedina Info: Dry but very rutted. High clearance vehicle pretty much required to get to lots, especially the last one. | ||||
6/18/2022 Posted On: 6/20/2022 By: ltlFish99 Info: i could bot find the sign for the turnoff from the main road. i asked someone lical, and they informed me or the location if the road. it is across the street from the real estate building as the description states, just no actual sign. The last mile is somewhat rough, and the trailhead was a popular place Friday night. | ||||
6/5/2022 Posted On: 6/5/2022 By: Agstrohmeier Info: Made it to the top in our ID.4 but not sure I would again. Clearance was alright just a ton of rocks on the road, nervous about a punctured tire. Easier parking not far down the road. Forgot to pay and they just left an envelope on the windshield instead of a ticket which was nice. | 1 |

6/4/2022 Posted On: 6/4/2022 By: stickmann Info: Road is open to the trailhead. Bathrooms open and stocked. The last quarter mile is rough and low ground clearance vehicles were parked below it. My stock Forester made it to the TH. | ||||
5/31/2022 Posted On: 5/31/2022 By: flyzapper Info: Clear of snow, but gate is still closed ~1 mile and 500 vertical below Kite Lake. Road is also snow free up to Kite Lake despite gate being locked. | ||||
5/30/2022 Posted On: 5/31/2022 By: mtnmike Info: Road is good to the gate ~1 mi below Kite Lake (6-7 parking spots at the gate itself...remember to stay OFF the private mine property!). Beyond the gate everything has melted out / been plowed out, but the gate is still closed. Will be drivable by just about anything...as soon as they open 'er up! :) | ||||
5/15/2022 Posted On: 5/15/2022 By: merrion13 Info: Gate by fee / permit pay station was still closed as of this morning. Road drying out fast. | ||||
5/8/2022 Posted On: 5/8/2022 By: mtnmike Info: Road is dry and in good shape to the gate about 1 mile below Kite Lake (4WD not needed). Space for 6-8 vehicles there, just be sure to stay off the mine property. Still need several warm days to melt out the remaining mile to be able to drive. | ||||
4/19/2022 Posted On: 4/20/2022 By: Jim Davies Info: From Facebook user Kurt Pawlowski: "You can now get to the winter gate at Decalibron TH. Parking for maybe 5 vehicles there. Still lots of snow up there." | 1 |

1/16/2022 Posted On: 1/16/2022 By: cbonk11 Info: Plowing only goes to the mines that are about 1/4 mile below the gate. Lots of no-parking signs in this stretch. The safest thing is to park right below the private lands sign about 1/2 mile from gate. | 1 |

12/18/2021 Posted On: 12/19/2021 By: CheapCigarMan Info: Dry all the way to the locked gate. | ||||
11/7/2021 Posted On: 11/7/2021 By: 14er101 Info: Tried the loop today but to no avail. Road open and clear to the gate 1.5 miles from the trailhead. Gate is closed. | ||||
10/30/2021 Posted On: 10/30/2021 By: Buckie06 Info: Made it to .25 miles from the trailhead in a Ford fusion. Easy going until this point, then there's some rough sections for sedans. Large pullout at the .25 miles spot to park | ||||
10/23/2021 Posted On: 10/24/2021 By: djj2504 Info: Gate is open and road is clear of snow all the way to the lake. Restrooms are open and TP is stocked. The road does get rougher towards the top and there is a pretty deep ditch just before the parking area that kept some sedans from making it all the way. 4Runners, Tacomas, F150s, and a Crosstrek all made it. Snow is in the forecast but a few warmer days are as well so the road could remain drivable. | ||||
10/16/2021 Posted On: 10/17/2021 By: KevinInFoCo Info: Gate is open, road is mostly clear of snow all the way to Kite Lake. Several really rough spots especially above the switchbacks. But probably any 4WD or AWD can make it with some care and determination. I made it all the way up just fine in Toyota Highlander AWD, although the road conditions are much worse than I remember them last time I was up there Dec 2020. Bathrooms are open, free of snow, and stocked with tp. Cleanliness? Ehh... |
