5/5/26 - Courtesy of Silver Plume Store sharing back trail status updates once again as we enter the 2026 season.
- Alpine Tunnel Road FSR 839 is OPEN for the 2026 Season.
- Hats off to the volunteers who cleared many downed trees, and dozens of massive rocks, including some winching, off the lower and
more precarious upper trail section requiring multiple person-power, to shift all off the trail.
- Keep in mind there are still some snow patches. Dirtbikes, UTV's ATV's and well kitted out SUV's should be able to make their way up
to just shy of the parking area before the Alpine Tunnel ghost town.
- Terrific to witness the extensive 2024 repairs carried out on the Palisade rock walled section,
photo on Bushducks FB, of FSR 839
is looking great! An avalanche badly damaged the rock wall 10 years ago, see Bushducks CO Pass Page 2016 update. Being an historic site, repairs were far from
overnight easy rebuild fix.

- Ran Argentine Pass Road today. Got as far as the Waldorf Mine at 11,594ft. No chance of going higher due to the trail being
clearly covered in deep snow as it winds its way on up the SE slope of Mount Edwards. A good day!

5/19/26 - Courtesy of Silver Plume Store sharing trail status updates as we roll out the 2026 season.
** Cumberland Pass is now OPEN for the 2026 season.
- Many volunteers, many shovels, plus coordination by Silver Plume means Cumberland Pass Road is OPEN the earliest in many years.
** Due to the amount of snow needing removal, the trail through is ONLY OPEN to wide UTVs at the most, at present. Make sure you have good
ground clearance to bridge the snow still in place in the middle of the trail. Enjoy and take care up there.

- Temp road closure through June. Ouray County Road & Bridge Department plans safety improvements for the Mineral Creek portion
of Engineer Pass, western section of the trail, immediately following the completion of high-country snow removal.
Dozers will deploy on April 27, and we anticipate rock grinding through most of June. While work is underway, Monday through Friday,
all traffic, to include foot traffic, will be prohibited in the affected area. The road will be open to traffic Saturdays
and Sundays.
- Yes, the lower end of Poughkeepsie Gulch is within the works restricted access area. However, the Poughkeepsie gate doesn't open
till July 1st. Fingers crossed the works go well and are completed before the official opening of Poughkeepsie.

Swandyke in the Middle Fork Swan River valley below to the east - long gone, yet one cabin is hanging in there.

4/19/26 - Courtesy of CORE hitting the trails and sharing back once again for the 2026 season.
See Core's Video.
- Halfmoon Road FSR 110 is OPEN and clear to travel up to North Halfmoon Lakes #1485 hiking trailhead at 10,540 ft. FSR 110 has minimal
water over the trail as you cross Halfmoon Creek at this point. Small snow patches kick in under the trees, as we continue above the
10,700 feet level. Some vehicle has turned around seemingly due to larger stretches of deeper snow as the trail opens out near the beaver
lakes at around 11,060 ft, just above the next crossing of Halfmoon Creek, that's 1.1 mile above North Halfmoon Lakes trailhead.
- We dropped some air, and continued on through deeper sections of snow for a short distance to our first downed, large tree. Chainsaws
out, all clear on we go to a few more smaller trees down, before crossing the site of an avalanche clearing of 2019 by CORE. Snow patches
increasing in length in this open section as we move above 11,250ft.
- Cleared a lot of windblown uprooted trees at 11,500ft so we can stay the trail which has good mounds of snow to negotiate. Crawled on
through some off campber snow sections to finally reach the Champion Mill trail on our right, before crossing the low flowing creek
once again to then exit over a rise and snow mound. Slow crawling through deeper snow to finally turn around due to off camber deep
snow section directly across the valley from Champion Mill at 11,240ft, some 4 miles above the North Halfmoon Lakes trailhead. That's
us for today. Time for lunch and head on back down.
- Ongoing info: Halfmoon Road FSR 110 and South Halfmoon 4WD Road FSR 110J do not have a seasonal closure. Both are OPEN to all vehicles, yearlong, conditions allowing.
- Remember, don't drive around snow drifts. If you can't push thru on the trail proper, turn around and come back another day
when the snow has melted to enjoy the trail without damaging the surrounding terrain.

** Hancock Lake Road FSR 295 is OPEN for 2026 to just 1.2 miles in (above the turn-off for Hancock Pass Road FSR 299) to around 11,500ft.
Expect deep snow on the trail, if you decide to go. Rembering to travel with an equally well-prepared buddy vehicle. Lone vehicle
travel in conditions such as this, is gambling with our lives, and those who may have to come rescue us.

5/21/ 26 - Courtesy of CORE
out checking trails and sharing back status updates for 2026.
** Holy Cross City Road is OPEN for 2026. Trail is clear of all snow up the initial one way, upward section, as far as the exit route,
Fancy-French Road. There's been a few fallen trees cut and removed off the trail around there. Nice work by those who came up before us
in the last couple of days.
- Reached the gatekeeper dip and short rock climb obstacle, where one tree has been cut and cleared. Two other leaning trees are
almost ready to fall across the track there, so we cut and cleared a few. Still no snow on the ground to date, with this year's low
snow level almost matching the low level of 2013.
We continued as the trail becomes more challening in the short rock climbs, Steep
Rock included where rear steer vehicles excell, but still no snow until shortly before French Creek crossing at 11,00 ft.
Last Chance water bar and exit channel on the lower edge of French Creek, a rock arrangement CORE instsalled with the aid of machinery
back in 2024 is holding well and helps to deflect the creek course off the track creating less chance for water contamination, before
entering the rock obstacle proper when crossing the creek at around 11,200 ft.
Snow is still banked up as we hit the sideways slant climb away from the main part of French Creek. Trees down across the trail ahead.
Time to call it a day at just over 11,200ft. Time to turn around before our day becomes too short for a safe trip back down the trail
with some additional maintenance work to be done on the way.
- Seasonal Access Dates, non binding: 5/21 - 11/22.

4/12/26 - Courtesy of long time contributor, and the very first for 2026, Mike H. sharing updates for 2026! GO U Mike!
- One brave soul in a Tundra made it 0.6 mile up above Butler Gulch Trailhead CO Trex Trailhead (Topo) Topography Map to 10,835ft, Sat Map to just below the first major switchback early in the morning while
the snow was still frozen. I did not ski on down out that way toward Henderson Mine, so I don't know if he made it back down without
getting stuck.
- Above that point, there are large patches of snow that no one has driven yet and are impassible at this point.

5/9/26 - Courtesy of Larimer County 4-Wheel Drive Club
sharing back trail status updates for 2026.
- Today, along with the Forest Service, we ran Kelly Flats to assess maintenance needed for the upcoming opening, May 15th. The road is
mostly dry. We blocked off some non-legal user trails, cleared some trees and cleaned out water bars. The trail is expected to open on the
scheduled Friday, May 15th.
- Saturday 16th May, the LC4WDC is having a memorial run on Kelly Flats for a long time club member that recently passed away. Please
allow for a degree of congestion.
- Ongoing comments:
- Kelly Flats Road crosses private land in a few places. Please be respectful. Drive slow, don't stop, and don't play loud music,
especially the section just northwest of The Chutes where the road has been recently rerouted.
- Seasonal Opening Dates: Kelly Flats/ Wintersteen Park Road FSR 168: 5/15 - 11/20, weather and conditions may alter actual dates.

- A group of us made it on up Saxon Mountain Road today, right up to the Summit Mine lookout point at 11,540ft on Saxon Summit Road
FSR 712.2C. Clear run, well worth the climb for that view!
- We also hit Cascade Creek Road FSR 710.1 on the west side of Saxon Mountain, and some of nearby Argentine Pass
too (see entry under A. Pass) making it a long yet awesome day on the trails.

At 11,600 ft the road splits next to the upper reaches of Cache Creek. The lower road at this point, closer to the creek line is
Private.
Upper road with noticeable off camber rise, heads up above the tree line toward the old Columbine Mine.
We all share the responsibility of respecting private property.

- Dozers have plowed San Juan CR-17 up to
around 12,100ft, quarter mile from CR-2 turn-off for Engineer Pass. R&B will be closing the road in order to do some rock
grinding that is necessary for the safety of travelers on Mineral Creek Road CR-17. This work is expected to take around 4 weeks
to complete. The road will be opened by approximately mid-June.
4/22/26 - Courtesy of Ouray County Road & Bridge.
- Temp road closure through June. Ouray County Road & Bridge Department plans safety improvements for the Mineral Creek portion
of Engineer Pass, western section of the trail, immediately following the completion of high-country snow removal.
Dozers will deploy on April 27, and we anticipate rock grinding through most of June. While work is underway, Monday through Friday,
all traffic, to include foot traffic, will be prohibited in the affected area. The road will be open to traffic Saturdays
and Sundays.
- County Reminder: PLEASE BE ADVISED: The Mineral Creek portion of Engineer Pass that runs through Ouray
County is one of the more technical 4WD road segments that Ouray County has to offer. Most stock 4WD highway vehicles are not suitable.
You need a high-clearance vehicle to negotiate this road segment. There are many hazards that leave little room for error. Mishaps
occur frequently. Please come prepared and exercise caution.

- Ran Pirate Road FSR 856, spur trail off Mosquito Pass Road where it crosses Mosquito Creek, to up over 12,400ft approaching
Miriam Mine on the SW face of Mount Buckskin. Looking back toward North London Mine, at 12,300 ft, I could see the Mosquito Pass Road
covered in snow as it heads on up the north slope of London Mountain to the false summit at 12,670ft.
- Back
in 2023, see data, Mosquito Pass didn't open right through until July 29, 2023.
- NFS wish to remind us, Mosquito Pass is usually only open for six to eight weeks after the snow melts in July.

View of switchbacks above Mt Princeton radio towers at 10,800ft.
- Note - trail switchbacks kick in higher, around 11.250ft on Lucky Mine Road FSR 322.A. These invaribly hold snow for quite some time longer
than below the towers, right through to June at times.

4/22/26 - Courtesy of Ouray County Road and Bridge.
- Temp access road closure through June. Ouray County Road & Bridge Department plans safety improvements for the Mineral Creek portion
of Engineer Pass, western section of the trail, immediately following the completion of high-country snow removal.
Dozers will deploy on April 27, and we anticipate rock grinding through most of June. While work is underway, Monday through Friday,
all traffic, to include foot traffic, will be prohibited in the affected area. The road will be open to traffic Saturdays
and Sundays.
- Yes, access to the lower end of Poughkeepsie Gulch is within the Mineral Creek works restricted access area. However, the Poughkeepsie gate
doesn't open till July 1st. Fingers crossed the works go well and are completed before the official opening of Poughkeepsie.
- Seasonal open dates, non binding: Poughkeepsie Gulch Road opens 7/1/24 - October 15.

Sunday May 17th,
for all of us wishing to partake in caring for our trails.
- Meeting point: Flat Rocks Trailhead at 8am.
- Details: This is a 4 to 5 hours window of work on the trail, lunch and tools provided. Bring your own bike/atv, work safety gear and enjoy a day with fellow trail-users.
- Work party trail-status feedback
always welcomed here at Bushducks CO PASS Page, from volunteers who care to attend, and share with other trail users.

- Reminders to us all, no matter what the season:
- Clear, Cross, or Turn Back on the trail. No Going Around obstacles off trail.
- We all know the latter causes damage to resources, trail users reputation and can foster trail closure. Let's all continue to Stay The Trail,
Keep The Trail.
- Be mindful, clearing trails is at our own risk.
- Best not travel alone.

- ONGOING REMINDER - Red Cone summit down to Webster Pass is ONE-WAY only, downhill to Webster Pass only. As the sign in
place says, All vehicles must exit via Montezuma or Handcart Gulch! Know before you Go, that these latter trails are sufficiently free
of snow to travel, before descending to Webster Pass.
- In 2023, Webster Pass Opened to the top on the Montezuma side only, on July 5. See deep snow cornice blockade
at top of Handcart Gulch. The pass Opened as a thru route on July 27 following the efforts of many hands taking to their shovels.

** Richmond Basin Road is now classed as OPEN for 2026. This is due to Rich and Bruce progressing with their plow service on Imogene
Pass Road. They have reached the start/base of the Richmond Basin Road at 10,930ft.
** Reminder "OPEN" does not mean clear of snow. It implies we have access to the trail. If you've attempted this trail, perhaps
on foot,
share on back your findings for all to appreciate.

5/17/26 - Courtesy of
CORE sharing updates on trails for 2026.
** Tincup Pass, St Elmo side, is OPEN for 2026 due to the efforts of 10 snow-shoveling volunteer vehicles cutting out the shelf
drift section approaching the top of the pass on this side, once again under the guidance of CORE. A low snow level year, not
a big dig, yet totally impassable without their input. Hats off, you people! Check out CORE's St Elmo &
Mirror not-so-big-dig video 2026.
** We continued on over the pass and on down the Tincup side by Mirror Lake which has no water over the trail alongside the lake at
present. We returned back up towards the pass and it's worth mentioning that you'll have to battle through deep snow patches if heading
up, climbing up from this side. Best to wait a couple of weeks before coming in from Mirror Lake side.
5/4/26 - Courtesy of CORE sharing updates on trails, yet again for 2026.
- Tincup Pass FSR 267 is not due to open until May 15th.
- Back in 2023, Tincup was eventually OPENED up 7/29/23 by a group of volunteers coordinated by CORE.
See Drone video
by Bushducks trail contributor Ryan G. just 3 days beforehand, relates the massive amount of snow needing clearing. Hats off to those voluteers!

5/17/26 - Courtesy of repeat contributor Kevin B. sharing back for 2026.
- Stock 4WD can make it up Tomichi Creek Road FSR 888 to around 11,400 ft, to within .8 mile of Tomichi Pass from the south. All other
vehicles can't get much further due to snow drifts in the trees. North side shelf road Tomichi Pass Trail #888 obviously is still blocked.
- There is one downed tree over the road with a workaround path. Farther up there is a tight squeeze next to a downed tree. I plowed
through a few minor snowbanks with a stock 4runner. Several manageable stream crossings. Stream is in the middle of the road for
a brief section. I hiked the rest of the way up the road and up to Central Mountain.

5/24/26 - Courtesy of longtime contributor ALT2870.
** Transfer Trail is OPEN to snow.
- Transfer Trail is OPEN for the 2026 season out to Windy Point. While technically it's open all the way to the end at Adam's Lake
road, the perennial snow exist just past Windy Point in the trees making travel for most rigs impossible. Can see some people have
tried but doubt they made it far as the snow and trees persist for sometime.
That being said the trip up to Windy Point is relatively uneventful. No snow to speak of (unheard of this time of year, usually
takes till mid June to get this far) with just a couple of mud spots to deal with. Very dry overall and the repairs the FS did last
year are still holding up okay. This year they dug drainage areas out which have helped significantly.
As a reminder the first mile or so is narrow with limited passing opportunities with significant drop offs. Take note of pull offs
and if you are in a safe place to do so might be worth it to give downhill traffic the right of way if needed.
- Seasonal open dates, non binding: Transfer Trail and Blair Mountain Road, 5/21 - 11/22.
