Please consider donating to a fellow high country pass traveler now, and sadly for quite some period ahead, is in need of much assistance. A Jeep further down the switchbacks, by pure chance of their active dashcam, recorded the horrid scene as it rolled out. Their video is a frightening visual reminder to all choosing to travel these trails - it is a dangerous activity, please stay alert at all times. Your life is in your hands. 10/6/20 @ 6.25pm. - Per San Miguel County Sheriff. BB Pass is now OPEN again. Sadly, a newly wed couple, the only occupants in the light aircraft which crased east of Telluride, have passed away. Condolences to their family and friends.

Switchbacks a little tougher but no big problems at all. 7/9/20 - Courtesy of Todd B. ---------------- OFFICIALLY OPEN AS of JULY 9, 2020. - Black Bear Pass was opened today, all the way from Red Mountain Pass, US-550, thru to Telluride. Freshly bulldozed from top of pass down to Bridal Veil Falls, so road surface is as good as it's going to get, with loose rocks pushed off. A credit to San Miguel Co.

COMMENTS: Courtesy of trail driver Bart C.
7/27/20 - OPEN all the way to the top. Overall the trail is in good shape with all the normal mud puddles and rocky areas. The ascent to top has a long erosion rut down the middle of the road from about the first to second turns. Easily straddled but one of our drivers got too far right and high-centered between the rut and the outer edge of the road. Keep the rut between your wheels and youre fine. Several of the switchbacks have been flattened down and dirt put in the low areas to flatten out the turn. Easy to get around the turns in a 4-door and nothing new about the run.

6/11/20 - All dry and clear of snow except for a 1/4 mile stretch maybe 1/2 mile north of the summit. A large snow field probably was blocking the road a week or so ago and still covers about half the road. So a bit narrow for a little ways. The wheel ruts in the snow have reached to the gravel, with maybe 6" of soft snow between the ruts.

11/18/20 - Dakan Road is still open. Not enough snow to mention. Rode all the way to Rainbow Falls. Only a few icy spots on the Rainbow Falls side of Rampart Range Road FSR 300. Hit some side trails and no problems. Went up to see if it was still open on Sunday the 15th and the big lot was almost full! Today 11/18, only a few cars and riders. Some other vehicles but possibly hunters. NOTE - Trail access Closes for the season on November 30th. I'm not sure what gate that will be.

6/27/20 Completely OPEN. Good condition throughout. The one steep, difficult spot seems a little easier this year - maybe a little wider, allowing you to avoid the large step. Lots of nice dispersed campsites, but very few spots taken for a Saturday. The Clear Creek County fire ban must be keeping the campers in developed campgrounds. Lots of day trippers, though, mostly 4x4s and dirt bikes. 6/16/20 - Per Clear Creek Ranger District Update: FSR 246 OPEN.

Awaiting status up on FSR 667, East Fork Road, the western approach to Elwood Pass. 5/24/20 - We made it all the way through to the top. There was some lingering snow drifts and some very slippery mud at the top from the melting snow, but we were able to get through. There was a huge snow drift over FSR 380 just West of the end of the Elwood Pass trail preventing travel in that direction. It will probably be a couple weeks before that drift melts.

Georgia Pass North face update at Bushducks Facebook Update. Note - Only saw very small patches of snow off in the trees. Saw no snow on top, it was dry. Water from snow melt was running down the rocky chute about 3/4 mile from the top on the North side. 6/27/20 Courtesy of Bret. - Open all the way. Georgia Pass - Birds Eye View at 11,585 ft. opened 6/27/20. Clear road all the way from Jefferson to the top of the pass. From the top down towards Breckenridge, the beginning is very rocky and in spots deeply rutted. - Bret's dashcam - Slower going once north of the pass, snow melt has exposed rocks. A good portion of this upper section is now a flowing stream until you reach the bottom of the valley. From that point it is just fine. 6/17/20 - Per Dillon Ranger District: Still Closed due to snow. Correction to previous "Open" status, the trail is NOT open to the top. The gate below is indeed open, which is why the Dillon Ranger District calls the trail "Open". However, they sent a ranger up there today to check it out and there's still too much snow at the top. 6/4/20 - Per Dillon Ranger District Update: FSR 355 Open.

9/2/20 Trail remains OPEN all the way. Trail is in good condition. We traveled this after completing Tomichi pass and headed up Hancock from that direction. We did not consider this trail a Red trail, but more high moderate. Lockers not needed, low gear helpful but not a must and you can pick a line around areas with bigger rocks. Stock Jeeps will hit bottom in certain areas. Little if any water running down the trail. 7/29/20 - Per trail driver Ruth C. - Trail is OPEN all the way! Not much water flowing through at this point. We drove from Nathrop to Pitkin. NOTE: We drove this pass 3 years ago in July. We can see why the trail has now been upgraded to "Red". Due to trail use and erosion, embedded and loose rocks are more exposed and higher clearance vehicles are DEFINITELY needed. Trail is still a lot of fun - we rated it a light red. We drove 7 Jeeps over the pass, including a stock JL Rubicon, which scraped a couple of times :( Careful tire placement and low gearing a must on this trail. Have fun! .....another must :) 6/7/20 - Not open from St Elmo. You can get to tree line before being stopped by large snow field. Looks to be melting fast though. Normal conditions on rest of trail.

Much less traffic after getting to the summit and going down. Lots of water was running but easily passable through the creeks.

7/25/20 - Open all the way thru on Jenny Creek Road FSR 502.1 & Jenny Creek Trail FSR 808.1. Note - Jenny Creek Road FSR 502.1 allows motorcycles, ATVs, OHVs >50" and Highway Vehicles. Note - Jenny Creek Trail FSR 808.1, the upper part of route, allows motorcycles, ATVs and OHVs >50". It does NOT allow 4X4s Highway Vehicles. With the re-route a few years ago, the trail now only crosses the creek once, which was low, even on a rainy day. Trail is well-marked. It's just a narrow dirt road below the creek crossing. Above the crossing it gets much rockier and more interesting. There is also a clear-cut section with some awkwardly-placed stumps. Further up, the pitch of the road threatens to put your roof edge into the trees. Overall, more fun that I thought it would be, but no crazy obstacles. Reminder from trail driver Scott - check access regualtions before for your particular mode of transport before heading along trails.

However FSR 708.1 trail gate toward the North end is CLOSED at the intersection of Wearyman Road FSR 747.1. This means you are unable to connect north along McAllister Gulch trail to Shriner Pass FSR 709.1. The only thru route option at this intersection is to turn east and continue on Wearyman Road, or backtrack to Camp Hale. Note - I can't confirm the gate at the intersection of McAllister FSR 708.1 and Shriner FSR 709.1 is open, or closed, since I didn't actually see it. 8/4/20 - Courtesy of John W H. - McAllister Gulch (FSR 708) Open all the way, connecting to Ptarmigan Hill FSR 702.

10/16/20 - Trail is OPEN all the way. Ran the trail from east to west, Hwy 69 to Great Sand Dunes NP. Great Sand Dunes NP FSR 559 trail map Grab a taste of sand, water crossings and rocky trails at Rich's Medano Pass trail video. Trail observations: East side isn't hard but has some areas that may make you pause to choose your line. West side has some areas where downed trees are close to the road. Overall the road is narrow in places with few places to pass so keep those wider spots in mind if you meet another vehicle. Enjoyment observations: We had a ball! The main reason for running the trail was "just because" :) Leaves had fallen, yet there were pockets of color in protected areas. Driving through the creeks and sand was fun. We decided that we would have to return next year a bit earlier before the leaves had fallen. 8/19/20 - Courtesy of trail driver William M. Medano Pass trail remains OPEN all the way. Trail is dry, water crossings low, maybe 10 inches deep. Sand was thick in spots. 6/9/20 - Per Great Sands Nat Park Update: Creek crossings are generally low. The water at crossing #8 may be over 16 inches (40 cm) deep due to beaver activity. Afternoon thunderstorm activity could alter creek crossing depths, alter conditions or wash out the road. No down trees or major hazard areas. Sand conditions are soft due to current drought - drop in tire air pressure suggested to reduce impact. Great Sand Dunes Nat Park latest update on Medano Pass Road. 6/1/20 - Trail open all the way according to Great Sand Dunes National Park. Expect moderate to high creek crossings.

COMMENTS: Courtesy of trail driver Bret P. :)
9/13/20 - Trail not passable on Leadville side. Recent snow has made the trail impassable. Traveled from Alma to within 100 feet from the top of the pass before getting stuck in a snow bank. Backing down the snow I got high centered on the only big rock in the area. My tires didn't have the traction to change my direction in the snow going down hill. Thankfully some highly lifted truck were able to pull me off the rock. Caution - The last half mile has lots of packed show drifts. The trail is very rocky and wet with runoff from the snow. See snow-status pics up on Bushducks Facebook. 8/31/20 - Courtesy of trail driver Charlie G. - Yes trail remains OPEN. Note - Sign at the Alma end indicates that the trail is closed, however it was open all the way to Leadville. Trail in good condition, no huge obstacles. Some rocky stretches and great shelf roads. A fun trip for an afternoon! Did encounter some snow/ice pellets on the way up. Reminder - the Fall is upon us. 43 degrees and very windy at the summit. 7/25/20 Courtesy of trail driver JR. Trail open both ways, no snow blocking the trail. 7/19/20: Courtesy of trail driver Neil. - Still closed from the East. Snow holding at 12,600ft, near the London Mine, above London Mill, above the trail turn to Oliver Twist Lake. The drift is about 20 yards long. 6/29/20: Courtesy of Barry. - East, Park County, approach to Mosquito Pass on CR 12: Snow still holding strong at North London Mine. Weeks aways unless a crew starts to work on opening it up. North London Mine image 6/29/20 courtesy of trail status contributor Barry O. 6/28/20: Courtesy of Wes. No, still NOT OPEN. That said, the West approach, from Leadville in Lake County, is OPEN all the way to the top and a few hundred yards beyond down toward Fairplay in Park County. There is a snow field blocking the normal road just after going past the top. There is an alternative route that stays above the snowpack that allows passage. Snow drifts over road after heading down toward Fairplay a few 100 yards. You can't see them until you commit down the road and around a corner. Beware - no turn around space. Had to back out :( NOTE - The first snow drift is passable with a narrow vehicle like a side-by-side, or motorcycle. But, I could see a larger drift 500 yards beyond that, which still covered the entire road plus above and below. - Mosquito Pass from ahigh. 6/11/20 - Stopped by snow maybe a mile before the top. The long stretch before the last two switchbacks is still filled in pretty good with snow. Probably a few more weeks.

9/18/20 - RED CONE Trail is OPEN again. We drove Red Cone Friday, Sept 18th, and it was clear and dry all the way. We drove down Webster Pass Road, FSR 285.1, and it also was clear and dry at the top. In the Handcart Gulch area, FSR 121, there is some water running across the road in places. 9/14/20 - Courtesy of ridge driver Gerry H. - Red Cone turns white with recent snowfall. Guys we saw coming down Red Cone were wide eyed from the slippery decent. One bike came down very slowly!! See Gerry's pic of Red Cone taken from the bottom at Webster Pass. Got a cool pic of your own? Post it up on Bushducks Facebook - public posting page. 7/3/20 - Courtesy of trail rider Bryan. - Yes, Red Cone is OPEN and can be traveled through to Montezuma. NOTE - There is 10 feet of snow on Webster Pass at the top of Red Cone trail. Heads up - this means you can not descend from Webster Pass on FSR 121 down to Hardcart Gulch due to snow. The only through route is on down FRS 285.1 to Montezuma. 6/27/20 - Courtesy of trail rider Glenn. - Opened today by Mile Hi Jeep Club. Still snow at the turn to Webster pass FSR 121 (as always,) but bashed through and was passable to Red Cone on this day. NOTE - melting and ice may create difficulties for another couple of weeks. Beware Red Cone + Ice = danger. 5/29/20 - Per call to Forest Service: Still closed due to snow. No estimate on when they will open up at this time.

11/24/20 - OPEN to over snow vehicles with a state registration. 9/19/20 - Courtesy of Scott D. OPEN - yet only to the brave! The last few switchbacks above the saddle are north-facing, and are still covered with snow, presumably from the storm earlier this month. Tire tracks indicate some brave souls are making it thru, but given that we were traveling solo, and it was starting to rain, and that section is quite tippy, we decided to turn back at the saddle. In fact, the whole trail above tree line has gotten quite tippy. In this section, the trail has a v-shaped profile, with the longer leg of the "v" on the uphill side, so you're always tipping down hill. I'd have to agree with some of the websites and guidebooks now rating this as a difficult trail - not for obstacles, but for the tippy shelf roads. Still fun, though, and as always, great views! 6/19/20 - Per Dillon Ranger District latest update: FSR 264 OPEN. NOTE - Allow for weather conditions. No ATVs or unlicensed vehicles. Snowy and muddy. 6/4/20 - Per Dillon Ranger District Update: FSR 264 Closed.

11/19/20 2" of fresh snowfall today brings snowpack level to 18". Equates to -24% below average for this time of the year. Historical average snowpack is around 49". Levels have been as high as 177". 9/1/20 - Courtesy of trail drivers Steve & Ellen N. :) - We traveled this trail from Crystal to Gothic and it is clear all the way. Devils Punch Bowl section is in good condition. Narrow spots as you leave Crystal, before the bridge, where you should watch for rocks sticking out of the mountainside, or just on the edge, that you should go over slowly or, ideally miss. One area that we needed to spot is just past the bridge as it gets off camber there. The second area has two big rocks in center of trail but with spotting, was easily passed through by all Jeeps in our group. 7/9/20 - Per Aspen-Sopris Ranger District Update - Clear.

09/2/20 - Trail remains OPEN all the way. Trail is in good condition. Very rocky all the way from St Elmo to Mirror Lake but typical of this trail. Lockers not required and no big boulders to navigate over. Low gear very helpful but not a must. We consider this trail a moderate trail. Worth noting - The area that had the landslide a couple years ago is a good stop just to look at the power of Mother Nature. 7/30/20 - Courtesy of Tammi B. - Water level at Mirror Lake is now below the road. Whoopee! 6/20/20 Trail is fully open. Mirror Lake is at high capacity so the road, FSR 267 that skims the edge of Mirror Lake and crosses East Willow Creek at the upper end of the lake, is covered with water but passable with a typical offroad style vehicle, pickup, or sport utility. 6/13/20 Open to just before the last switchback. Then 2 patches of snow one completely covering the trail by 3ft of snow. Typical spring runoff. 06/7/20 - Not fully open yet. Coming from St Elmo you can get to the very last shelf before the top then the usual snow bank. Still fairly substantial. Trail is in normal conditions otherwise.
TOMICHI PASS FSR 888	Gunnison/Gunnison	970-641-0471	OPEN	9/19/20
COMMENTS: Courtesy of trail driver Dan H. :)
9/19/20 - The trail remains clear following the removal by CO 4X4 RnR of rollover Jeep on Pitkin side. There is some remaining snow on the north side shelf road from 9/8 - 9/10 snow storm. This is on the north side of the pass near the intersection with Hancock Pass trail. There is still some snow on the shelf road where it's in the shade and hasn't melted, however the snow is not very deep and you have a clear path the entire way that your outside tires are in gravel so traction is decent. There is no part where both tires are in snow. Heading north is probably easier as it's down hill so you aren't trying to climb. The slide area looks intimidating, but the crews did a nice job building it back up to pass over easily. 9/19/20 - Courtesy of Colorado 4x4 RnR. - Tomichi Pass REOPENS with the removal the XJ Jeep that rolled onto its side on the shelf trail, on Saturday 9/5/20. Colorado 4X4 Rescue and Recovery did the good deed of retrieving the vehicle to lower altitude for suitable recovery by the owner. In addition they removed debris left over from righting the vehicle. Yet another example of the awesome work performed by these guys - keeping the Rockies open :) Photos and link to the recovery on Bushducks Facebook. Best wishes go out to the injured owner/driver also on the road to recovery. 9/7/20 - Courtesy of trail driver Pete O. Trail is CLOSED on Pitkin side as result of Jeep rollover on Saturday 9/5/20. Some dirt bikes have been able to get by. Check before any attempt to get by. Stay safe. Jeep is on its side on shelf section of the trail at approx 11,750ft on the west face of Brittle Silver Mountain. Coming from Pitkin, that's approx one third of the way from intersection with Hanckock Pass FSR 266, several hundred yards above the last switchback coming out of the trees, above Middle Quartz Creek and mine site. Trail is in very good condition other than Jeep blocking the trail. See approx location image of Jeep blockade on Bushducks Facebook Weather alert - Be aware of potential storm impact on the 8th and 9th Sept. 9/2/20 - Courtesy of trail drivers Ellen & Steve N. - Trail remains OPEN all the way. We traveled the trail on two consecutive days. The slide has been repaired and is just past where the trail starts off Alpine Tunnel trail. It is not difficult BUT in this direction someone should spot because as you crest the hump in the trail you can't see and tell when you should in fact turn right off the hump. Going the other direction starting in Whitepine this obstacle is much easier as you can see the edge on driver's side. There is a rock with dirt over it, embedded on the right side of the hump which requires good tire placement. Overall the trail is in excellent condition with no issues at all along the trail. We had a Gladiator in our group and he had no issues with any of the tight turns on the trail. Worth Noting - Great job repairing the slide area by Mile High 4X4 club! :) 7/27/20 - Courtesy of trail driver Wes. - Trail remains OPEN. - Vehicle width upate. I got through it with a 3rd gen stock 4Runner. The area with the rock slide is 600 yds on-trail north of Tomichi Pass about 100 yds before getting down into vegetation and trees. The slide surface has been spread out and flattened to remake the road but you still need to climb up and then back down to get over it. NOTE - There is a lot of rock dust and fine gravel mixed in which makes the surface soft and provides poor traction and a sizeable boulder that makes for a tricky narrow spot for on-road vehicles. Side-by-sides would not even have a concern. Wider vehicles like an F150/F250 might be able to make it, but you better have a spotter paying close attention to what is going on. Enjoy! 7/6/20 - Per Roads Staff & Gunnison Ranger District Update. - Per Julie, the Roads/Engineering staff and Gunnison Ranger District confirm that Tomichi Pass is OPEN and limited to narrow vehicles. NOTE - No wide pickup trucks. Repairs to the road made by a local jeep club :) 7/6/20 - Courtesy of Colorado Four Wheel Drive Association & CORE - Tomichi Pass is OPEN as of 7/6/20.

COMMENTS: Courtesy of Dillon Ranger District Update :)
11/24/20 - FSR #285 OPEN to over snow vehicles with a state registration. 10/3/20 - Courtesy of trail-driver Jerry - Snow from the 9/12/20 storm is gone, but it's getting cold. There was ice on the pond on the Grant side and it is also forming on the edges of the streams and water crossings in the mornings. Popular as ever. Parking lot was full by 9:00am. If people would think about how they park more could fit. There is still a little bit of color but the wind is knocking the leaves off fast. 9/18/20- Courtesy of trail driver Sam V.G. - Trail is OPEN all the way. We drove down Webster Pass Road Friday, Sept 18th and it was clear and dry at the top. In the Handcart Gulch area, FSR 121, there is some water running across the trail in places, but only a few inches. We also drove Red Cone FSR 565 which has reopened after the snow storm of 9/8/20. It too is clear and dry all the way. 9/12/20 - Courtesy of trail driver Jerry H. - Snow on the road! Came up from the Montezuma side and got into some snow covered slick spots getting to Webster pass. On the 285 side sketchy decent to the bottom, wheel ruts in the snow. Guys we saw coming down Red Cone were wide eyed from the slippery decent. One bike came down very slowly!! With all the traffic and warm temps it should get better by the next weekend. However, there's some snow that needs to melt for conditions to improve. Caution - Could be slick for motorcycle riders. 7/30/20 - Courtesy of trail driver Dan B. - Yes trail is OPEN. Snow is no longer on any of the trail, only restrictions would be the fairly narrow trail as it is. 7/26/20: Courtesy of trail driver Eric B. My buddies shoveled drift blocking Jeeps and big vehicles from traversing the top section of Handcart Gulch, on the west rim of Webster Pass. I got my Jeep thru no problem! NOTE - may still be too narrow for some of those monster vehicles. SxS no problem. - See the former 7/3/20 SNOW BLOCKADE that's now 7/26/20, been shoveled @ top of Handcart Gulch Road #121 on Bushducks Facebook. 7/17/20: Courtesy of trail driver Reuben R. - Impassable due to large snow drift blocking Trail up by the top of the pass. 7/3/20 ; Courtesy of trail driver Bryan. Webster Pass Road FSR 285.1 is open from Montezuma up to the pass. There's still 10 feet of snow on Webster Pass at the junction of Red Cone FSR 565. You can not continue south down Hardcart Gulch 121. - SNOW BLOCKADE @ top of Handcart Gulch Road #121 on Bushducks Facebook. - Webster Pass Road blockade at the Continental Divide on Bushducks FB. - Red Cone is OPEN. - Radical Hill is CLOSED due to snow in the switchbacks. 6/19/20 - Per Dillon Ranger District latest update: CLOSED. Open to wheeled vehicles 5/21 to 11/22 WHEN CONDITIONS ALLOW. No ATVs or unlicensed vehicles. 6/14/20 It appears from below that nearly the entire upper section of ledge road is covered in snow, and there is a huge snow cornice at the pass itself. Also, the bottom switchback on the 285 (north) side is covered in a thick snowfield. Unfortunately, it appears that ATVs/UTVs/dirt bikes have been bypassing the snowfield by cutting the switchback in a very destructive manner, which is pointless because there is a plainly visible second snowfield completely blocking the road about 50 yards further up! Also saw an entire family on ATV's plowing thru the fragile marsh area at the base of the pass on the 285 side, even though this area is clearly marked as closed to motor vehicles. In general, this trail system is now more heavily used than I've ever seen it. Please, better behavior, people, to keep these areas open! 6/4/20 - Per Dillon Ranger District Update: FSR 285 Closed. 5/29/20 - Per call to Forest Service: Still closed due to snow. No estimate on when they will open up at this time.

6/29/20 - Travelled the east approach to Weston Pass - CR 22 on the way out and CR 22 to CR 5 on the return. Near the top of Weston Pass, took the short scenic FS Rd 162. CR 22 and CR 5 were both in excellent shape - totally clear and 2 WD worthy. Note - FS road 162 has a half mile stretch that is rocky, steep, and narrow in spots due to trees on both sides. High clearance 4WD was needed. Would not recommend FSR 162 for AWD or 2 WD. Lots of fun and scenic with the right vehicle! 6/11/20 Fully open no issues. 5/26/20 - Got to 8.8 miles from Hwy 24 on Leadville side where snow cat with plow was stopped. Could see 3 foot drifts 1/4 mile ahead. Road is clear and dry most of the way. Remaining snow can be driven around. Got to 9.8 miles with a stock Jeep in 2WD.

6/27/20 - We made it to within a few hundred yards of the lake. We had to dig thru a few drifts on the way up. My son winched across the last snowfield before the lake (at least I think it was the last one). It was about a hundred feet across the snowfield. I wasn't able to drive thru following his tracks. I had to be pulled back out of the snow and we had to winch him back across. NOTE - This last little bit of snow will probably be gone in a week or so. - Trail was about the same this year as last year. I think the bottom part of the trail has been getting a little rougher as the years go by. The waterfall before you start up bowling ball hill was running strong. The waterfalls by the lake were still buried in snow. We didn't walk over to see the lake. - GET THE PICUTRE Wheeler Lake - Bird's Eye View. 6/1/20 - The trail is open but only open to 1.7 miles in. The trail is in good condition but there is a lot of runoff on a good portion of the trail. At mile 1.7 the trail is still snowed in from there on up with about 3' to 4' of snow.
