7/4/2020 Posted On: 7/5/2020 By: rudi32 Info: Road should definitely be ranked a 2. Not terrible, but some lower clearance 2wd vehicles would struggle in a few spots. | ||||
6/24/2020 Posted On: 6/24/2020 By: Unknown Info: This road needs to be ranked a 2, not 1. Hundreds of potholes will make getting up in a passenger car very unenjoyable. Luckily I had no issues with ol trusty F150 | 1 |

6/22/2020 Posted On: 6/22/2020 By: Clint the climber Info: The road is open all the way to the trailhead and is passable in a low clearance 2wd vehicle. | ||||

11/14/2019 Posted On: 11/15/2019 By: drhunter1986 Info: Clear all the way to Half Moon TH! 4x4 and good tires recommended though. | ||||
9/16/2019 Posted On: 9/16/2019 By: amymaylee94 Info: Couple of rough spots on the road that you have to drive slowly on with a 2wd. I hit the bottom of my car a few times because I wasn't careful. Otherwise, passable for any vehicle with some careful driving. | ||||
9/15/2019 Posted On: 9/15/2019 By: madmattd Info: As has been discussed, this road is easily 2WD passable. I made it up without any issues in a basic station wagon, 5-6" of clearance. Other than a couple badly rutted spots where low-clearance vehicles just need to slow and pick a line, it's your typical dirt road with some minor washboarding and small rocks at times but nothing to worry about. Several 2WD sedans at the trailhead (Impreza, Corolla, etc). If anything I think the road is overall better than around this time last year. Lot was full but not exploding today, only a few vehicles parked along the road near the TH. There was some sort of large gathering at the Community House Saturday night, I suspect this was why the dispersed camping was largely occupied but we still found a spot up high. | ||||
9/14/2019 Posted On: 9/14/2019 By: drchele Info: Agree-- I suspect the TH update by CaptCO dated 9/1/2019 is likely intended for the North Halfmoon Creek TH (a la Massive). I was just up The Half Moon (Tigiwon, aka FR 707) road to the TH for Holy Cross on 9/13/2019. Was able to drive 20-30 mph *almost* the entire way. With a full bladder. It is most certainly passable in a 2WD passenger car. I could've eaten a sandwich while driving this thing. Never fear. | ||||
8/27/2019 Posted On: 8/27/2019 By: mattpick Info: Road is dry and a bit bumpy, but definite manageable. Lots of cars Saturday at 1pm when we arrived, but were able to get a spot by the trailhead. | ||||
8/24/2019 Posted On: 9/2/2019 By: piopti Info: Road is suitable for 2WD vehicles. A little rough in places, mid-clearance vehicle may be desired in a few spots. | ||||
8/12/2019 Posted On: 8/12/2019 By: MOUNTAINMANMIKE88 Info: Dry all the way to the TH. bumpy road though hard 2x4 | ||||
7/6/2019 Posted On: 7/6/2019 By: mtngoatwithstyle Info: Road is in great shape all the way to TH. | ||||
7/4/2019 Posted On: 7/4/2019 By: TravelingWilbury Info: According to the latest forest service update, as of 6/28 tigiwon road is open. It says "one snow drift beyond community house" so I'm not sure if you can make it all the way to the TH, but I plan to give it a shot this weekend. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd542981.pdf | 2 |

6/21/2019 Posted On: 6/21/2019 By: TieDye Info: Just got off the phone with the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District office - the Tigiwon Road will not be opening today as scheduled due to too much snow still up there. Not a surprise but just wanted to get the information posted. They will reassess next weekend to hopefully have it open by July 4th. | 3 |

5/26/2019 Posted On: 5/27/2019 By: areed20 Info: You can bike about 3.5 miles in and then skin the rest to the summer TH. There's a slim chance the road opens June 21st as there's a lot of snow on the road still. |
