Info: The 5 mile dirt road leading to the trail head is clear of snow for the first mile. After that, the snow is 3 feet deep and too soft to pass unless you have a serious lift on your 4WD vehicle. Got stuck 2 miles in (3 miles to go before the trail head) with a Jeep Liberty 4WD.

Info: Made it in a 2 door Accord. Covered in snow, but pretty well packed. Keep it slow - I did lose control a couple times but managed to get it back in the middle of the road. But that was because I was going faster than I should have been. FWD should be able to make it fine if you‘re careful, 4WD will have no problem.

Info: East Elbert TH 4WD road better than last year this time. The small creek you lass through was lower as well. Toyota 4runner went up trail fine. Would not go unless you have 4WD!

Info: Easy dirt road the entire way. Any car can make it. The directions say to turn right onto an easy dirt road, but the road is actually paved for the first half mile before it turns to easy dirt. Trailhead is well marked by signs.

Info: Lots of snow on the road. We made it within .25 mile of the TH, but got a little too close to the left side of the road and ended up getting stuck. Fortunately, we were able to winch ourselves out, back up, and found a dry spot .9 mile from the TH (I don‘t tempt fate twice). One other person made it to the TH and others still were going further past it, but I‘m unsure how far up they went. (I think they were hunters).
