6/7/2025 Posted On: 6/7/2025 By: nohandz Info: Glad I took a 4WD instead of a Model 3. Would be white knuckles and slow going in a passenger car. The bathroom at the trail head is locked. | 1 |

5/25/2025 Posted On: 5/25/2025 By: shaines90 Info: Though the road is listed as a Rough 2WD road, those driving passenger cars should take extra care. There is a spot just about five miles from the trailhead that has a couple of large ruts on an uphill section, took me a minute to pick a line and had to take it carefully. There's another smaller rut just about 2.1 miles from the trailhead that I'd take slow, but was much less of a problem. Also a lot of medium- to large-sized rocks along the road that a lower clearance vehicle will have to dodge. That being said, I made it to the trailhead in my Civic just fine, so it is doable. | 4 |

3/25/2025 Posted On: 3/25/2025 By: masonzastrow Info: We made it there in a midsize SUV with AWD by taking 250A (as opposed to 252). The crux shortly after entering BLM land isn't worse than it was last year. Intermittent snow and some light rutting, but overall not too bad. Spookiest part was a pretty wet mud well shortly after starting on 250A. | ||||
1/29/2025 Posted On: 3/31/2025 By: jacolc Info: the road must be blocked many miles below TH. When I hiked on CT from Angel of Shavano, no sign of any activity just above TH | ||||
12/23/2024 Posted On: 12/24/2024 By: GeorgeB Info: I can't imagine many stock 4WD vehicles getting very far past the CR250/252 intersection due to continuously deep snow. There are vehicle tracks here going all over (both on and mostly off the actual road) clearly made by seriously lifted vehicles. The snow gets deep 3 miles from the trailhead, you're better off hiking from the Angel of Shavano CG trailhead. | 1 |

12/19/2024 Posted On: 12/19/2024 By: bigfoot1 Info: So I didn't actually see the lot itself, but I did see tire tracks where the colorado trail crosses the road, and there were a good amount of footprints coming from the trailhead as well. I would guess large trucks with chains would be able to make it. | 1 |

11/2/2024 Posted On: 11/2/2024 By: josephsiefers Info: If the road to G&T is rated a 3/6, I would consider this currently to also definitely be a 3/6 (did both roads only 3 months apart so fresh in my mind). There were about 3 spots that are completely impassable for a car in my judgement - two near the campground and one near a later cattle guard washout. The campground was the worst part as others have said. I had a Jeep Compass rental which did fine and I saw 2 Subarus at the TH. | ||||
9/15/2024 Posted On: 9/15/2024 By: PJ88 Info: I was hoping this would have been fixed sometime this summer, but the BLM portion of this road is still in terrible shape. Unfortunately, 252 is in pretty bad shape now as well. I tried 250A on the way out and it is ok I guess? If you do opt for 250A, there is a huge hole over a culvert that is a little hard to see and would be very bad to hit. No TP at the trailhead bathroom either. | ||||
9/2/2024 Posted On: 9/2/2024 By: Jkbrhoffman3 Info: Challenging hike. Start early. 546 logs placed to make steps! No snow fields. | ||||
9/2/2024 Posted On: 9/2/2024 By: Jkbrhoffman3 Info: Plenty of parking...rough road up to TH. | ||||
8/17/2024 Posted On: 8/17/2024 By: r38996 Info: To echo masonzastrow's comment from 5/5/24, about a mile after the pavement ends, there's a short (75 yards) section that looks more like swiss cheese than dirt road. The coordinates are (38.558211, -106.121246). My car has 5.9 inches of clearance and I couldn't see a path through that mess, so I ended up walking 5.5 miles to the TH. Today, looking at Google Earth/Maps, I see a potential detour around the rough stuff. | 1 |

8/16/2024 Posted On: 8/16/2024 By: NathanMihm Info: Probably closer to a 3/6 difficult. Didnt see any passenger cars there. Cows were a nuisance, both camping at the meadow area and at the main TH. | ||||
8/12/2024 Posted On: 8/19/2024 By: sherby Info: Made it with a stock Subaru Outback, but there was one spot where I felt we pushed it to the limit. | ||||
6/23/2024 Posted On: 6/24/2024 By: jpoyfair Info: The road is the roughest at first. It was no problem for my Subaru Outback Wilderness. Summer conditions. Plenty of bugs- bring your bug spray. Lot was 1/3 full by 6am on a Sunday. It clearly filled up after I hit the trail. |
