6/15/2007 Posted On: 6/15/2007 By: skier25 Info: The road is clear of all snow the entire way to the top. We slept at 11,000 feet at the camping spots past the radio towers. Also, snow is no longer a problem on the main trail up Princeton. | ||||
5/24/2007 Posted On: 5/24/2007 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: Drove about 1/3 of the way up the road today (5/24/2007) and it was very slick due to recent snow. Be careful, it might still be that way on Memorial Day weekend. | ||||
5/12/2007 Posted On: 5/12/2007 By: KirkT Info: Drove past the radiotowers about 1/3 mile and parked at the 11,000 ft mark. There are still very larger snow banks on the road above that point and are not passible by any vehicle yet. The snow is melting quickly however. | ||||
5/6/2007 Posted On: 5/6/2007 By: Dad Mike Info: Completely free of snow up to the radio towers. Some snow banks after that. I was able to get up and over one of them in my wrangler. That was right above 11,000 ft. | ||||
5/22/2006 Posted On: 5/22/2006 By: Chicago Transplant Info: The road is clear and dry to well above the towers, no snow until 11,500'. where a drift reduces the road width to about 3'. | ||||
4/25/2006 Posted On: 4/25/2006 By: killingcokes Info: Drivable to about 1/4 past the Radio Towers. Go get it | ||||
3/6/2006 Posted On: 3/6/2006 By: devotchkatata Info: Road is open and passable in (imported) 4WD vehicles all the way to the towers. Some snowy and icy spots, so got to be really careful for sure. If hiking the road snowhoes are not needed (unless there is another storm). | ||||
8/25/2005 Posted On: 8/25/2005 By: contour900 Info: The Mt. Princeton road is in amazing condition as of 8/22/05. There is one large washout at the 2nd hairpin turn past the radio towers but otherwise no problem. My Hyundai Santa Fe rental car was loafing all the way. | ||||
7/18/2005 Posted On: 7/18/2005 By: Cruiser Info: The Mt. Princeton road was no problem for my stock x-terra. I was able to drive without any problem all the way to the end of the road at the Bristlecone Pine Chalet | ||||
5/20/2005 Posted On: 5/20/2005 By: JoshK Info: I drove up to the radio towers the other day at 10,800 feet. This was in a moderate clearance AWD vehicle. There was actually a couple of spots where I could possibly imagine being able to get stuck spinning with only 2WD, but my guess is most vehicles will make it. Shortly beyond the towers there were several snowdrifts that would have made continuing any further impossible unless you are driving a snowplow or something. :) | ||||
2/18/2005 Posted On: 2/18/2005 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: The Mt. Princeton Road is closed in winter. In late spring it may be partially open. It usually opens to high-altitude in late May. When open, 4WD is recommended. |
