7/2/2007 Posted On: 7/2/2007 By: CO Native Info: The road is in good shape. If you drive real careful you can actually get a passenger car all the way to the gate. | ||||
6/24/2007 Posted On: 6/24/2007 By: ajkagy Info: road is dry all the way to the gate except for some wetness from the melting snow near the gate. This is of no concern. Be careful in low clearance vehicles on the last half mile as there are some small ruts/larger rocks in the road. I even saw a prius up near the gate, so any 2WD vehicles are fine. | ||||
6/3/2007 Posted On: 6/3/2007 By: Kojones Info: Ditto on the post before. Was up there today and made it to gate in my Jeep. Snow-free. I guess you could take a 2WD... passenger car possibly. There are places to park lower if you can't make it all the way. Kojones | ||||
6/1/2007 Posted On: 6/1/2007 By: CorduroyCalves Info: Road is in good shape all the way to the gate at 11,680. A little gummy about a half mile before that, but should be able to navigate even with a 2WD. | ||||
5/20/2007 Posted On: 5/20/2007 By: Kiefer Info: The road is driveable all the way to the gate at 12,520ft. As already mentioned, the road higher up is wet & muddy from all the run-off. | ||||
5/18/2007 Posted On: 5/18/2007 By: Rockymtnhigh69 Info: Fourmile Creek is wet up top but I could have driven all the way to the gate in my Grand Cherokee but I decided to park at Dauntless Mine.. You can easily park at Dauntless Mine in a passenger car.. | ||||
4/23/2007 Posted On: 4/23/2007 By: boilermaker Info: Snow starts about 4 miles below the gate at 12,100'. We got a 4x4 Liberty stuck in the snow about 1/2 mile into the snow. | ||||
2/27/2007 Posted On: 2/27/2007 By: spaceman Info: Was able to drive my 4WD F150 up to 11,000 feet. There were two drifts that we were able to drive through. Other than that the road was mostly dirt all the way. From where we parked the snow got a lot deeper, quickly. | ||||
1/13/2007 Posted On: 1/13/2007 By: shanahan96 Info: the road is drivable until 11,000 feet before we were stopped by sugar snow. this point is roughly a half-mile shorter than we were able to drive in late december. | ||||
12/24/2006 Posted On: 12/24/2006 By: shanahan96 Info: We were able to drive up to 11,110 feet on the fourmile creek road on saturday, december 23rd. This is roughly a half-mile short of the leavick townsite. | ||||
12/8/2006 Posted On: 12/8/2006 By: blakeduncan Info: I drove up fourmile creek to about a mile before the Leavick site, whereupon snow covered the road. There were tire tracks, so I decided to see if I could go a little further, and made it about another 1/2 mile before getting stuck (even with 4x4)..glad I brought the shovel! | ||||
6/26/2006 Posted On: 6/26/2006 By: mac266 Info: Open all the way to the gate. Tiny amounts of snow left on the peak. | ||||
5/24/2006 Posted On: 5/24/2006 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: OPEN to the gate at 12,100' | ||||
5/11/2006 Posted On: 5/11/2006 By: Hook Em Horns Info: Was able to drive to the 11,300' parking area without any problems with snow, b/c there was none. Hiking up the road was mostly snow free up to the closed gate at the 4x4 road. |
