11/3/2013 Posted On: 11/3/2013 By: Hoot Info: No problem getting to the parking area at Mosquito Creek today with only minor patches of snow to the parking area. The first switchback beyond the parking area is icy and snow drifts prevented a 4WD from going much beyond the first switchback. | ||||
7/14/2013 Posted On: 7/14/2013 By: Yikes Info: pass is open. road has some very rough sections after the creek crossing. I parked at the mine instead of beating up the Xterra on the upper stretch. | ||||
6/22/2013 Posted On: 6/24/2013 By: Grant Info: From the Fairplay side one can get to the North London Mine. There is a large snowfield and looks like at least another two weeks before one can possibly get through. There are small snowfields all the way up to the pass but should melt out in the next two weeks. From Leadville, it looks like by next weekend it will be open all the way to the pass. There was a small snowfield that will probably melt out this week. A motorcycle was able to get past it and able to get to the pass. | ||||
6/9/2013 Posted On: 6/10/2013 By: EatinHardtack Info: The road up Mosquito Pass on the EAST side is currently blocked at the first switchback before you start heading up the hill to the old London Mill Mine. You could drive further but not worth the effort. The road is still blocked with plenty of snow and will take a while to melt out. If this week continues with the warm temps then I would think you might be able to drive to the old mine in the next week or two. | ||||
5/11/2013 Posted On: 5/11/2013 By: telemarkdude Info: Park County Road 12 plowed all the way to Road 696. The snow was still just a little too deep to continue so I ended up parking at the intersection of roads 12 and 696. I was driving a Dodge Durange 4WD. With the warm weather I‘d estimate maybe another mile of forward progress by next weekend. Due to all the late season snow, the trailhead at the sharp left turn where Road 12 begins the climb to Mosquito Pass is still at least two or three weeks out. | ||||
