7/16/2022 Posted On: 7/16/2022 By: staceyhicks Info: Road to TH in excellent condition. Climbed on a Friday. Arrived at 5:15am and only 3 other cars in parking lot. Returned to TH at 2::30 and still plenty of parking. | ||||
6/24/2022 Posted On: 6/28/2022 By: dwoodward13 Info: Usual rocky drive up to the TH, made it fine in a Camry just slow going. There is one spot low on the road just after entering public lands that is a bit of a mess. Lower clearance cars will want to pick a good line. The road gets markedly better after the 252/250 junction. | ||||
5/27/2022 Posted On: 5/27/2022 By: Mt_DAN Info: Clear by both 250A and 252. | ||||
5/7/2022 Posted On: 5/8/2022 By: serveJesusChrist Info: Road 250 is passable in a Subaru, however 1 snow field makes it dangerous because a mishap means a fall down a cliff. 250A is completely clear and is the better road up. | ||||
5/6/2022 Posted On: 5/8/2022 By: MBosch27 Info: 250 Passable in a Rav4, but a little slippery at the snowdrift in the S turns. Should be clear and easily passable soon. 250A is clear, dry and definitely the better road up. | ||||
4/23/2022 Posted On: 4/23/2022 By: Dobsons Info: Was in the region for other adventures but we were able to make it to the main shavano tab trailhead without any difficulties. The main 252 road has a large snow area blocking it at the usual corner about 2.5 miles from the trailhead (likely for a few more weeks) but if you take the alternative route via 250A this is open all the way | ||||
3/18/2022 Posted On: 3/21/2022 By: Emil128 Info: Road access to the trailhead is still pretty snowed in. Had to start skinning 3 miles from the actual trailhead adding a total of 6.4 miles round trip from the car to trailhead | ||||

2/13/2022 Posted On: 2/17/2022 By: Eagle Eye Info: I was curious about my ability to reach the Shavano/Tabeguache Trailhead so I checked it out on Sunday; I drove CR 250 the ~3.2 miles to the Y junction: the road starts out traveled and windblown but within 1 1/2 miles of the junction was starting to be in 2 deep tire tracks & in places drifted over with snow. I would say (4WD) great open pattern tires and good ground clearance were necessary, with little or no option of getting around an oncoming vehicle. Beyond (at) the Y junction neither 2 continuing roads showed any signs of travel. This point is about 3 miles short of the Shavano/Tabeguache TH. | ||||
12/22/2021 Posted On: 12/22/2021 By: supranihilest Info: Bumpy and plenty of potholes. Lots of thin, packed snow on the road, though mostly dry. One thick patch of ice I took a running start at so I could just slide over it if I lost traction. Trailhead parking lot is partially covered in thin snow. Bathroom is open and stocked with toilet paper. | ||||
12/4/2021 Posted On: 12/5/2021 By: LetsGoMets Info: Still complete summer conditions, rough 2WD. | ||||
11/29/2021 Posted On: 11/30/2021 By: RWSchaffer Info: Summer conditions to trailhead. | ||||
10/5/2021 Posted On: 10/6/2021 By: brianr56 Info: Road dry (one water-filled pothole as an exception, but easy to avoid) and in good shape to TH. Drove up easily in stock Outback - several sedans in parking lot. Take your time, pick your line, and any vehicle should be able to make the top. | ||||
9/19/2021 Posted On: 9/21/2021 By: matt9094 Info: The dirt road was dry but very bumpy the entire time. You could make it with a sedan but it would definitely get scraped up. I highly recommend a higher clearance vehicle such as an SUV or truck. 2WD is fine. | ||||
8/28/2021 Posted On: 8/28/2021 By: madmattd Info: The outhouse seat is still good to go, since it sounds like that was an issue last month. This road is quite bumpy, but go slow and most vehicles should be fine though low clearance will need to take care in a few places (big holes). I should have aired down a bit, would have saved time even with having to pump back up... Today there was a Mini Cooper and an Audi sedan at the TH, everything else was crossover SUV or larger. I had no issues finding an empty campsite at 9pm Friday, just had to go a short ways past the trailhead. There were still many open sites way down low too. | 2 |
