2 6/5/2021 Posted On: 6/5/2021 By: adventurerunner Info: The one bad rut from previous years wasn't an issue and I made it in my Prius. And a change from last year, there's no camping at the trailhead, but there are a few spots off the road up to the trailhead. | ||||
5/25/2021 Posted On: 5/25/2021 By: dennywitte Info: Dry to TH. | ||||
4/25/2021 Posted On: 4/26/2021 By: aksean22 Info: Dry to the Silver Creek trailhead, mostly continuous snow the rest of the way to the summer TH. Tire tracks go another quarter mile or so past SIlver Creek before deep snow drifts will stop everything. | ||||
4/11/2021 Posted On: 4/12/2021 By: Eagle Eye Info: 4/11 I drove 3.5 miles of CR365 & parked 1.5 miles from N. Cottonwood TH. This is where there is a small parking area and bathrooms. which are open. The road up until that point was very good but it became instantly worse further. Someone drove beyond there during the day, maybe 3/4 of a mile but probably had to back out that whole way. Not driven on beyond that, but well-tracked & foot travelled on to the TH. | ||||
3/27/2021 Posted On: 3/27/2021 By: dennywitte Info: Anyone hoping to access the Harvard Lakes, Silver Creek, or North Cottonwood Trailheads should plan to have 4wd and good ground clearance to reach the National Forest boundary and park there. There is a solid boot pack for .7 mile and then a good trench requiring flotation after that all the way to the North Cottonwood TH. | 1 |

2/9/2021 Posted On: 2/10/2021 By: dennywitte Info: I just hiked and snowshoed back to the North Cottonwood TH from the National Forest boundary, three miles from the TH. The road is pretty much impassible now. Figure on parking at the NF boundary. There is a trench in place beginning at Silver Creek. Flotation is required to avoid postholing. There is at least 24" of powder at the TH itself. | 2 |

12/25/2020 Posted On: 12/26/2020 By: jscully205 Info: Unchanged from previous reports. Perhaps a little icier, used 4wd to TH. | ||||
12/23/2020 Posted On: 12/23/2020 By: angry Info: No problem making it all the way to th today (12/23/20). New snowfall was not significant enough to cause any access issues. | ||||
12/22/2020 Posted On: 12/23/2020 By: Eagle Eye Info: CR365 is still open to the TH. Like the most recent December 13th info, I would say the road and especially the trailhead area are in a good tires, high clearance and 4wd required condition. It snowed enough yesterday (12/22) afternoon and night to cover my tracks from driving in earlier that morning. | ||||
12/13/2020 Posted On: 12/13/2020 By: dennywitte Info: FS365 continues to be open all the way to the North Cottonwood TH. The road is snow covered with two good tracks and has some snow between the tracks. I would recommend 4WD and some ground clearance as you approach the TH. | ||||
12/8/2020 Posted On: 12/8/2020 By: Squirrellysquirrel Info: Accessible with AWD, snow covered for last few miles. Bathrooms still open at Silver. Forgot who mentioned the TH sanitary situation, but found 2 human (?) poopsicles at TH, and then a lot of cat scat on the trail. | ||||
12/5/2020 Posted On: 12/5/2020 By: bmcqueen Info: Still easily accessible in my 4Runner today. I would think any AWD vehicle would still make it. | ||||
11/29/2020 Posted On: 11/29/2020 By: dennywitte Info: Road is passable to the trailhead. FS365 is mostly snow covered, with solid, packed tire tracks through the ice/snow. Might need some ground clearance above Silver Creek where the snow between the tracks gets deeper. | ||||
11/14/2020 Posted On: 11/14/2020 By: dennywitte Info: The road is still passable with high-clearance, 4WD vehicles. Around 8" at the trailhead. The road is not drifted (yet). | ||||
11/10/2020 Posted On: 11/10/2020 By: dennywitte Info: Road is snowcovered and icy in spots. 2" of snow at the trailhead itself. |
