3 10/8/2005 Posted On: 10/8/2005 By: davebobk47 Info: Drove up there today (8 Oct 05). Road is clear, 4WD is unnecessary although I would recommend a high clearance vehicle. I made it with my Buick but it took a bit of a beating. | ||||
6/14/2005 Posted On: 6/14/2005 By: bud Info: Road is pretty rough all the way up, with some good chances of bottoming out with a low clearence vehicle, but I still saw quite a few passenger cars at the trailhead on 6/11 | ||||
5/31/2005 Posted On: 5/31/2005 By: vanny37 Info: Road is open to trailhead as of 5/29/05. | ||||
5/29/2005 Posted On: 5/29/2005 By: ryan romanchuk Info: made it to trailhead on 5/26 in my subaru. Barely scrapped bottom of car on snow in two spots. | ||||
5/23/2005 Posted On: 5/23/2005 By: vanny37 Info: Went up 5/20-5/21. Got a little farther than the last guy. Less than a quarter mile to trailhead. | ||||
5/20/2005 Posted On: 5/20/2005 By: GPD Info: Went up yesterday - 5/19 - good till about quarter mile before the trail head - then it turns to 15 to 20 inches of snow | ||||
5/10/2005 Posted On: 5/10/2005 By: sisyphus Info: May 10, 2005: I got within about a mile+ of the actual Trailhead today until the snow stopped me. The road is melting out. I don't know why guidebooks list this as a 2WD road. I wouldn't take anything with low clearance up there. | ||||
5/2/2005 Posted On: 5/2/2005 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: Drove up the Stevens Gulch road today (5/2). Was able to drive 1 mile before the snow was totally covering the road. 4WD is still recommended for the first mile. | ||||
3/16/2005 Posted On: 3/16/2005 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: The road to Stevens Gulch is closed in winter. Usually melts out by mid to late May. | ||||
2010-01-05 Posted On: 12/31/1969 By: CONomad Info: Solid snow pack that you should be able to make it all the way to the winter trailhead easily with either an all wheel drive car or 4x4 and most likely just fine with good snow tires on a two wheel drive. |
