Info: This condition is actually for South Crestone trail. This was a great trail with beautiful scenery. No snow and creek crossings were fine. Some blow down trees but relatively easy to crawl under or climb over, The trail is very easy to follow and there is a beautiful waterfall. The South Crestone Lake is amazing!

Info: Outhouse: BYO TP. Road is easy enough in an Outback; would believe prior reports stating it is doable with 2WD/lower clearance.

Info: Summer conditions. My Hyundai Ioniq had no trouble getting there, so any car should be able to make it. The mosquitos are ridiculous.

Info: This trailhead received heavy use on the Labor Day weekend. The road itself is still passable by 2WD cars, but is beginning to show washboarding and larger divots higher up that weren't there last week.

Info: The road to the trailhead is in very good shape as of yesterday. No deep ruts or washouts. I think any 2WD vehicle could make it. There was a Toyota Camry at the TH. Also mosquitos were no problem at the TH mid-afternoon but there were plenty at the lake in the early evening.

Info: Mosquito activity is pretty intense there right now. About 2 minutes after arriving, with my truck door open while unloading there were about 30 already inside of it taking over. It was fine inside the tent. As far as on the trail: mosquitos activity ends after about 2 miles and was fine around the lake.

Info: Road is open and clear all the way to trailhead. Pit toilets are stocked as well. The road is passable by any 2wd vehicle as long as you take care if you don't have a lot of clearance. However, we did have to help a stuck VW van that had driven off the center of the road into a gutter so take that how you will...
