11/11/2014 Posted On: 11/11/2014 By: thurs Info: This information is only good for a couple days until it gathers some significant snow accumulation this weekend and potentially gets closed for winter. I was able to get a Subaru Outback (albeit somewhat stressful) to the Rainbow Trail. Only a dusting of snow on the road that required a little bit of extra momentum at times. There are several large ice puddles a few inches deep that I significantly shattered with my tires, could be helpful. | ||||

5/15/2013 Posted On: 5/16/2013 By: AW007 Info: The road is bare and dry all the way to the Rainbow Trailhead. | ||||
5/11/2013 Posted On: 5/11/2013 By: eskermo Info: Drove all the way to the Rainbow trail crossing in a 4runner. Lots of snow still on the road shortly after the lower SCL trailhead. I had to back up and gun it up in 4 wheel-low once in a steep, slick spot to get over the hill. Only one other car was at the trailhead - another 4runner. Didnt look like anyone had continued up to the upper trailhead in a while so that stretch might still be a bit dicey. | 2 |

10/14/2012 Posted On: 10/15/2012 By: Neil Info: After the storm on 10/12 and 10/13, the South Colony Lakes road is totally clear of snow to the Rainbow Trail TH. | ||||
4/9/2012 Posted On: 4/12/2012 By: finnicky7 Info: Gate is open all the way to trailhead, and with a good 4x4 easily driven. Trailhead from there had lots of trees down. Very hard going first 1/4 mile to stream then pretty clear going till you hit snow in the trees at 10,000. Snow shoes a must to make it past tree line, then it is wide open with almost no snow all the way to the summit. | ||||
12/25/2011 Posted On: 12/26/2011 By: Spoke537 Info: South Colony Road was plowed to the first intersection west of Colfax about 2.5 miles below the Rainbow Trail. | ||||
4/2/2011 Posted On: 4/2/2011 By: sevenvii Info: Still too much snow to make it all the way up to the Rainbow trail TH. You can get within about .3 of a mile, with really aggressive vehicles and/or chains possibly could park in San Isabel property, but wont get very far past it. | ||||

3/17/2010 Posted On: 3/17/2010 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: The normal winter closure is in place. I rode the snowmobile 2.5 miles up the South Colony road (deep snow) to form a temporary track to the Rainbow Trail junction. |
