Info: Got to the trailhead around 6.45 AM. Lower parking lot was half full. Definitely a different site from about 2 months ago. Guessing the colder weather and school starting again, has lowered the crowds heading out to this very popular 14er.

Info: Parked at the upper lot at Bierstadt today. Noticed a Clear Creek County deputy sheriff writing parking tickets for cars parked along the road this afternoon. Appeared to me might be wrong so you might want to check it out for sure that only the cars with wheels on the pavement were cited; those completely on the dirt shoulder did not appear to be ticketed.

Info: Parking lot was full at 5:00am with cars already parking on the road. Bathrooms still closed and port-o-potties pretty dirty. I think some folks are camping out of their cars overnight at the lot. I saw a couple of Coleman stoves tucked under rear bumpers. That would explain why the lot is so full so early. Trailhead and road to lot were excellent!

Info: Trailhead is in excellent condition. A little bit of a snow berm is all that's left, and that seemed fairly soft!
