7/11/2025 Posted On: 7/11/2025 By: wwdonaldson Info: Got to trailhead at 4:40 am. Plenty of parking spots remaining. I bet it filled up by 5:30am. I found some great dispersed camping on the gravel road to Geneva Park Campground. Drive into the campground, continue on the gravel road, and find numerous labeled dispersed camp sites. | ||||
6/19/2025 Posted On: 6/19/2025 By: EarthOrbit Info: Overflow parking on the shoulder of the road is allowed, but if you have any bit of tire on the asphalt, it's a $87 ticket from the Clear County Sheriff's Office. | 1 |

12/8/2024 Posted On: 12/8/2024 By: Cruiser Info: Winter closure is in place but the road above the closure is basically snow free which made getting to the summer trail head parking lot pretty painless. E bikes would make short work of the last 1.5m between the winter and summer TH. | ||||

12/15/2023 Posted On: 12/15/2023 By: HikesInGeologicTime Info: Closed at winter TH. Road is coated with a few inches of unconsolidated snow, ankle-deep at worst, but rather annoying to walk through. Not worth flotation, though. Bathrooms are unlocked and stocked with TP. The mens side has a wad of TP in lieu of a door handle at the moment, but it otherwise appeared usable. | 1 |

11/19/2023 Posted On: 11/20/2023 By: Eagle Eye Info: This is the last full week before the gate(s) closes "on or about Nov 26th" which is next Sunday -according to the CDOT website. Yesterday early morning starting from Georgetown the road had a few inches of powder on it, all the way to the summit but was easily drivable. I dodged a moose that came out of the ditch in one of the last switchbacks before the TH. Bathrooms open and TP there too. | 2 |
