11/14/2019 Posted On: 11/15/2019 By: drhunter1986 Info: Clear all the way to Half Moon TH! 4x4 and good tires recommended though. | ||||
9/16/2019 Posted On: 9/16/2019 By: amymaylee94 Info: Couple of rough spots on the road that you have to drive slowly on with a 2wd. I hit the bottom of my car a few times because I wasn't careful. Otherwise, passable for any vehicle with some careful driving. | ||||
9/15/2019 Posted On: 9/15/2019 By: madmattd Info: As has been discussed, this road is easily 2WD passable. I made it up without any issues in a basic station wagon, 5-6" of clearance. Other than a couple badly rutted spots where low-clearance vehicles just need to slow and pick a line, it's your typical dirt road with some minor washboarding and small rocks at times but nothing to worry about. Several 2WD sedans at the trailhead (Impreza, Corolla, etc). If anything I think the road is overall better than around this time last year. Lot was full but not exploding today, only a few vehicles parked along the road near the TH. There was some sort of large gathering at the Community House Saturday night, I suspect this was why the dispersed camping was largely occupied but we still found a spot up high. | ||||
9/14/2019 Posted On: 9/14/2019 By: drchele Info: Agree-- I suspect the TH update by CaptCO dated 9/1/2019 is likely intended for the North Halfmoon Creek TH (a la Massive). I was just up The Half Moon (Tigiwon, aka FR 707) road to the TH for Holy Cross on 9/13/2019. Was able to drive 20-30 mph *almost* the entire way. With a full bladder. It is most certainly passable in a 2WD passenger car. I could've eaten a sandwich while driving this thing. Never fear. | ||||
8/27/2019 Posted On: 8/27/2019 By: mattpick Info: Road is dry and a bit bumpy, but definite manageable. Lots of cars Saturday at 1pm when we arrived, but were able to get a spot by the trailhead. | ||||
8/24/2019 Posted On: 9/2/2019 By: piopti Info: Road is suitable for 2WD vehicles. A little rough in places, mid-clearance vehicle may be desired in a few spots. | ||||
8/12/2019 Posted On: 8/12/2019 By: MOUNTAINMANMIKE88 Info: Dry all the way to the TH. bumpy road though hard 2x4 | ||||
7/6/2019 Posted On: 7/6/2019 By: mtngoatwithstyle Info: Road is in great shape all the way to TH. | ||||
7/4/2019 Posted On: 7/4/2019 By: TravelingWilbury Info: According to the latest forest service update, as of 6/28 tigiwon road is open. It says "one snow drift beyond community house" so I'm not sure if you can make it all the way to the TH, but I plan to give it a shot this weekend. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd542981.pdf | 2 |

6/21/2019 Posted On: 6/21/2019 By: TieDye Info: Just got off the phone with the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District office - the Tigiwon Road will not be opening today as scheduled due to too much snow still up there. Not a surprise but just wanted to get the information posted. They will reassess next weekend to hopefully have it open by July 4th. | 3 |

5/26/2019 Posted On: 5/27/2019 By: areed20 Info: You can bike about 3.5 miles in and then skin the rest to the summer TH. There's a slim chance the road opens June 21st as there's a lot of snow on the road still. | ||||
4/23/2019 Posted On: 4/23/2019 By: Pagibb Info: The road is still completely covered with snow. Cross is still skiing good. | 1 |

4/1/2019 Posted On: 4/6/2019 By: rangercarl Info: There was continuous snow from the Nova guides operation all the way to the half moon TH. Easy snowmobiling to get up there. The lower parts of the road probably have another week until some dirt starts to show. The cross is skiing great! | ||||
9/13/2018 Posted On: 9/14/2018 By: miniarmstrong Info: 2WD Camry made it to the top no problem. Road is in great shape. Just take care to avoid a couple of rocks that could graze your undercarriage and you'll be fine. |
