6/7/2025 Posted On: 6/20/2025 By: masonzastrow Info: Easy drive dropping down from Snowmass Village, any car can make it. After uniting with the route from the north, it gets a little rougher but not bad enough to stop any car, just drives a little slower. I just want to reiterate the importance of carpooling: this is a small lot. If you can meet up with your partner in a park n ride, it will make your lives easier. | ||||

3/21/2025 Posted On: 3/23/2025 By: WillRobnett Info: Above 8000ft still quite a bit of snowpack, ski terrain fully open at the Four Mountains (Aspen Snowmass). Spring conditions starting to be seen in lower Roaring Fork Valley such as Carbondale however plenty of winter snowpack remains above 8k. Adding photos from Divide Way Rd overlooking TH area with Capitol --- Knife Edge --- Daly in the distance. | 2 |

11/16/2024 Posted On: 11/16/2024 By: daway8 Info: In the morning had snow starting a few miles from the trailhead but by afternoon mostly just the last half mile or so that had much snow left. Enough traffic already that it's no problem getting to the summer trailhead, even though it's not plowed that last half mile or so. Trailhead itself has been packed down enough by various vehicles that parking isn't an issue unless you come with bald tires. Plenty of foot traffic and some ski traffic going up the Snowmass trail but no one else arrived overnight and only saw one other vehicle at the trailhead in the afternoon, although tracks indicate others had come and gone. | 1 |

8/2/2024 Posted On: 8/4/2024 By: davebelin Info: Easy access, not too crowded at 3pm on a Friday in August. By the time I returned on Saturday, the lot was pretty full, but you can always park further up the road - there are some spots on the side of the road, too. | ||||

9/20/2023 Posted On: 9/22/2023 By: Briere Info: Easy 2WD dirt road for the most part. I had no issue getting a sedan there. No toilets but wag bags supplied! | ||||
4/30/2023 Posted On: 5/7/2023 By: jaquetcj Info: Able to drive to within a mile of summer trailhead. Use county road 11. Dont use the Road down from Snowmass ski resort as it is still in full winter condition | ||||
9/30/2022 Posted On: 9/30/2022 By: Skimo95 Info: The weather has ended the summer crowds and a fresh layer of snow up high today. | 5 |

8/27/2022 Posted On: 8/29/2022 By: E_A_Marcus_949 Info: Straightforward and clear - go all the way to the end of the road for the trailhead by the ranch entrance. Be respectful of parking and making sure cars can get out and drive by. Some large potholes but easily navigable by probably any car. | ||||
5/12/2022 Posted On: 5/12/2022 By: Skimo95 Info: Road was recently graded to N.F.B, easy 2wd to TH. Mud season | 5 |

6/12/2021 Posted On: 6/13/2021 By: CharGalli Info: Easy and dry drive up to the parking lot... The road was so good it almost felt like driving on paved roads ... | ||||
5/27/2021 Posted On: 5/27/2021 By: Bccrhp Info: A little pitted/bumpy after some recent grading but should still be passable in just about any car. | ||||
4/1/2021 Posted On: 4/2/2021 By: Bean Info: Road is plowed to 0.5 miles from the summer TH. Locked gate and deep snow from there. Any car can get to this point. | ||||
6/28/2020 Posted On: 6/28/2020 By: Unknown Info: 2WD Heads up when I returned the next day, people started parking in the middle, making it harder for some to get out. Few googans on the trail for sure. | 1 |
