Info: I stopped 4 miles short of the trailhead due to snow as I had forgot my shovel and did not want to get stuck. I just walked the rest of the road to the trailhead, took snowshoes but did not need them. 2 other vehicles made it to mile 8 where it was somewhat obvious that one got stuck in deep snow, then dug out, turned back and parked. No vehicles made it to the trailhead. Restroom is still open with no toilet paper.
