2 Posted By: Tornadoman Info: Made it to the trailhead in a Corolla. The road has some rough spots in the last mile or so, but with careful driving it should be doable in just about an vehicle. | ||||
Posted By: bmcqueen Info: Even with fresh snow, TH was still accessible in my AWD Highlander this am. | ||||
Posted By: Tornadoman Info: Road has deteriorated in the last month, and there are now washed out and eroded sections in the last 1.5 miles to the trailhead. I was still able to make it in a toyota corolla, so any car is probably fine for now unless it continues to get worse. | ||||
Posted By: Tornadoman Info: Easily made trailhead in Toyota Corolla. A few semi-rough spots and a couple potholes, but any vehicle should be fine for this road. | ||||
Posted By: mcklarry Info: Although there has been a lot of snow in May, the road from Buena Vista to Harvard Lakes is clear. Most two wheel drive cars can make the trip. The last mile has a so some rocks but not large | ||||
Posted By: robinbk Info: The road is open and essentially dry all the way to Harvard Lakes and Silver Lake trailheads. | ||||
Posted By: Daniel Joder Info: The road to the winter closure was icy, muddy, or slushy depending on the hour. Recommend AWD or 4WD just to be sure. This closure is a solid mile below the summer trailhead, so figure that in to your total distance. There was room to park maybe up to five vehicles at this closure. Since there are homes right next to this parking area, I am sure it gets plowed regularly. I didn‘t see any private property issues about parking here. | ||||
Posted By: nataliegarro Info: The dirt road leading to the trailhead is in great condition! Made it up in my Infiniti I-35 with no problem. | ||||
Posted By: Holmoose Info: Trailhead is easily accessible in a 2WD car. I can‘t see why any vehicle short of a sports car would have any difficulty on this mildly rough dirt road. | ||||
Posted By: metalmountain Info: Road is completely dry to the Harvard Lakes TH, and I would assume all the way to the end of the road as well. | ||||
Posted By: semitrueskerm Info: Okay, as of 2/7/2013, you can drive up to the furthest road accessible parking area, which is about 1.5 miles short of the Harvard Lakes TH. Very little snow, some ice. Kind of annoying, however, that they‘ve barricaded the road past this point. Yesterday, that 1.5 mile walk could have easily been driven if the barricade was not there. | ||||
Posted By: PedroCO Info: FR 365 is clear - a few tiny patches of snow left. We had a 4WD truck, but pretty sure any 2WD could make it all teh way to the trailhead. | ||||
Posted By: Yikes Info: Drivable to TH with 4wd but tricky driving. There was a lot of snow on the road and it trys to pull you off the road. Bring a shovel in case you end in the ditch. Had to dig out one vehicle which high centerd in the snow. | ||||
Posted By: dehrlich101 Info: The road is covered with snow but is packed down enough to drive past this point if you have a 4x4 or all wheel drive. I‘m not sure if you can get all the way to the main Harvard and Columbia trail head but you can get close enough it wouldn‘t be a huge hike. | ||||
Posted By: BillMiddlebrook Info: 4WD vehicles can get to the trailhead. A few snow patches to drive over but nothing major. | ||||
Posted By: cat49toa Info: 4wd road has been repaired at washed out spot, but, still have to pick and choose route with a low clearance auto. Some other potholes has also been smoothed(?), not very well. 2wd passable. | ||||
Posted By: JenGa Info: Pretty easy to reach in our 2wd Chevy Silverado - there was one washed out spot where a pipe crosses the road. | ||||
Posted By: Shad Info: Blocked by snow at 8650 feet 2.25 miles before where the Colorado Trail leaves the road. Almost 5.5 miles from North Cottonwood Trailhead. | ||||
Posted By: USAKeller Info: CR 365 is mostly melted up to within a 1/2 mile of this TH (where we parked). Soft snow prevented me from going farther. A high-clearance SUV with chains might be able to make it up farther. |
