For a snow wheeling route this was a great time!
The seasonal gate at way-point 8 was closed by the rangers just before we got there, we talked with them a bit on their way out.
There was still lots of fun to be had from Rock Creek Hills and the spurs around there. We ended up pulling out someone stuck in a drift, alone.

made it almost all the way to the campground today, gets pretty snowy about halfway some spots are deep. limited turn around space the further back you go due to deep icey snow. I turned back because I was loosing traction, i was in a lifted Ford Raptor on 37" tires lol
it's a fun drive right now tho, nobody out there hiking, still pretty wash board for most of it, packed snowy and icey spots make it smoother lol

After we finished running Rock Creek Hills in the snow, we decided to see how far up Lost Creek Road we could go. The lower part of the road was well-tracked and snow packed, slick but passible. The seasonal gate was open. once we got above the seasonal gate the tracks became fewer and the travel became harder. Just before Waypoint 9, someone had left a truck in the middle of the road. The necessitated driving into the ditch on the uphill side of the road for a few hundred feet to get around it. getting back up onto the road was a little challenging. The tracks continued to diminish but we followed them all the way to the end. The road is drivable to the seasonal gate. The upper part of the road is definitely challenging snow wheeling.

The dates listed for opening here are not correct. The seasonal closure dates of this trail are 3/1-6/15. Recent reports suggest the trail is snowy and icy and could be impassable to some vehicles.

We camped here for NYE and it was perfect. No wind, beautiful everything. 1-2 feet of snow but we made it all the way to the campground, which is closed.
We did recover 2 vehicles so if you're gonna go, make sure you are ready for snow: aired down, recovery gear, don't go solo, monitor weather/wind.

The trail is relatively easy but with the snowfall it added a little bit of a challenge in some areas. Recommend airing down as it’s really washboardy. Its a good trail for snow wheeling especially if you’re just starting out.

Trail was clear the whole way. It was very dry with mostly dirt showing and only a few stretches of packed snow. This road is EXTREMELY wash boardy. It will rattle your teeth out if you aren't aired down. Trail was packed today with a bunch of people getting Christmas trees.

Mostly dry with the exception of a few large puddles. This road is more bumpy than the FS off shoot roads. Several FS roads to explore with great scenery including aspens galore and continental divide panoramas. Motocross, quads and OHV occasionally passed. Several large camping areas.

Great snowrun today with 5 rigs but not without several recovery situations. Made it about 14mi in before we decided to play it safe and turn around. Sliding into ditches were biggest issues. Variety of snow type conditions from hard and packed towards beginning to soft and fluffy further up. Snow at least 2+feet and far deeper in ditches. Would not attempt without 2 or more vehicles for recovery purposes, a modified rig and plenty of adequate recovery gear!

Love this road!gorgeous views, the washboard is pretty bad but at the same time as long as you aren't in a hurry it's nothing to worry about

Decent views but many areas filled with large campers. This road itself isn't the best but there are many off shoots that are more exciting. This road is so wash boarded that you need to take it at 15 mph or 35 mph to smooth it out. it seems there is no in between that won't shake your car apart. the road was completely open with no snow.

The road is still open back to the Lost Park Campground gate. Snow is packed in the shaded areas with an inch or two with some of it about 6 inches deep in the switchbacks and hill climb at waypoint 9. A couple more decent snows and it might get a little slick.

Went and did a bunch of the Lost Park area trails yesterday. Everything is open and dry down low. Lost Park road is closed at the seasonal closure gate about halfway in, right before the switchbacks that go up to the higher elevation area. Just FYI.
