Info: The road to the winter closure was icy, muddy, or slushy depending on the hour. Recommend AWD or 4WD just to be sure. This closure is a solid mile below the summer trailhead, so figure that in to your total distance. There was room to park maybe up to five vehicles at this closure. Since there are homes right next to this parking area, I am sure it gets plowed regularly. I didn‘t see any private property issues about parking here.

Info: The dirt road leading to the trailhead is in great condition! Made it up in my Infiniti I-35 with no problem.

Info: Trailhead is easily accessible in a 2WD car. I can‘t see why any vehicle short of a sports car would have any difficulty on this mildly rough dirt road.

Info: Road is completely dry to the Harvard Lakes TH, and I would assume all the way to the end of the road as well.

Info: Okay, as of 2/7/2013, you can drive up to the furthest road accessible parking area, which is about 1.5 miles short of the Harvard Lakes TH. Very little snow, some ice. Kind of annoying, however, that they‘ve barricaded the road past this point. Yesterday, that 1.5 mile walk could have easily been driven if the barricade was not there.

Info: FR 365 is clear - a few tiny patches of snow left. We had a 4WD truck, but pretty sure any 2WD could make it all teh way to the trailhead.

Info: Drivable to TH with 4wd but tricky driving. There was a lot of snow on the road and it trys to pull you off the road. Bring a shovel in case you end in the ditch. Had to dig out one vehicle which high centerd in the snow.

Info: The road is covered with snow but is packed down enough to drive past this point if you have a 4x4 or all wheel drive. I‘m not sure if you can get all the way to the main Harvard and Columbia trail head but you can get close enough it wouldn‘t be a huge hike.
