Ran this trail expecting some snow, it was mostly covered for about 70% of the trail however as Matt pointed out it is not very deep snow and doesn't pose any real issues. I made it with no problems up until the Train Trestle (waypoint 12), after which the snow got noticeably more slippery. I was on my own in my Forester Wilderness and I didn't feel super confident continuing onwards as it was my first time driving in the snow. After a 5 or so point turn, I headed back with no issues. Overall a great trail with some awesome views!

Trail was covered in snow for most of the way, but wasn't very deep. There were a few parts that got slushy in the turns, but overall didn't have any issues. With another good snowfall will likely make it impassible.

While not a technical trail, it is Rocky. I’m very glad to have followed Ryan Boudreau’s recommendation to air down for this one. There are some great camping spots, although the first two offshoot trails leading to camping spots were blocked by fallen trees about half way down the trails. Overall, worth the drive as the scenery is fantastic.

Nice trail ! 4 stars for the scenic view at the top. As you head up there are some good views of Winter Park. First 10 miles or so aren’t that exciting. Once you get above timberline there are some great views of three lakes and a waterfall. The best part is at the top. Turn right before you get to the main parking lot. It’s the upper road that is the most challenging, fun and scenic. Drove it in a stock Forester Wilderness with skid plates.

A lot of fun and coming from the WP side, it was very easy until after the older bridge higher up. The rating is spot on and most 4wd with good clearance won't have an issue.

Very cool trail! The railroad history and remnants are some of the fun on this trail. A few miles are through new growth forest with very young pines. Great views of Winter Park from above. Once above treeline you are treated with some great views and some hiking trails to an alpine lake or two. We will be back to check those out.

Did the trail Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and Monday morning. Originally planned to be in the Stillwater area by Grand Lake but the area is still closed. The weather went from sunny to rain to sleet. Very fun trail and getting to the top is worth the views and hiking opportunities, We even ran into a few people hiking the top and skiing down the glaciers.

Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests have closed many areas of the forest due to active fires, extreme fire behavior, and extreme fire danger. This trail is within that closure until it is rescinded. Forest Order can be found here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/arp/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD832601&fbclid=IwAR1lBbj1v4CRBNwZ3rv0j-so-xUccxc-GbmFj7JSq-HBAzvYt0FJHsWRWaY

Open to WP 8 (Town of Corona). Impassable between WP 7 and 9 (501.1). Up words of 3-4 foot snow drifts from the recent snow storm after this location 39.9370833,-105.6754. I would imagine that it could be passable in a week or so if no more snow falls. We hiked the old railroad route across the trestles to Needle's Eye Tunnel and then back from WP 9 to WP 7. Due to the recent snow storm, there are large sections of the forest completely laid over. There was a lot of cleanup work performed between WP 2 and 3 where the trees had fallen on the road.

Great views above the tree line but the road up is a long bumpy drive to get there. No real obstacles or technical parts but still an enjoyable trip. Completed trip in group with stock two door JK, stock Xterra, and stock Subaru Forester

Until you get close to the top the trail isn’t too exciting, just a dusty and bumpy 10-12 miles. Once you get above the tree line the trail becomes much more scenic and interesting. To do the very last section from the trail head and overlook parking area, you really need high clearance 4x4 low at that point. However, you don’t need to do the very last section to enjoy the great alpine views.

Great trail that starts in winter park. The scenic views of the last 1/3 of trail makes up for the washboard roads. Some of the ruts are deep, hard to believe cars were trying this road, even in July. Account for an hour of hicking at top. You wont be disappointed. Dress accordingly. In July, was 59 and windy. Drove in bone stock 4runner

Drove up to the first parking lot near Mount Epworth. Several cars coming up and down, but plenty of room to pass. Area was smokey from the fires around the country, but temperature was comfortable.Road was mostly dry with the occasional drainage and a couple of puddles.
