Drove this in a Stock 2019 Tacoma SR on 31". Amazing drive would do this again. Only passed a few hikers after the treeline. Didn't have any problems going up. Hit the skid plates a few times going down.

This trail was less crowded than others around which is always a plus, it's got some boulders and tight switchbacks to negotiate but nothing too crazy. I was looking for an excuse to hike so we actually stopped about a mile short of the peak and walked the rest. The off-camber shelf road at the top would have made me nervous to drive but it was definitely doable. Great views at the top, you can watch vehicles descend Red Cone, it also overlooks Geneva Creek, Saints John, Webster, Deer Creek, and mountains galore.

FYI, something I noticed while browsing the official MVUM GIS data from the Forest Service. The MVUM route for this trail shows the official designated route as ending an an arbitrary point shortly after waypoint 7, at 3.96 miles. I don't know if this was an error in the last travel management process or deliberate, but the maps from the most recent White River NF travel management plan show the remainder of the trail as only open to horse and hike.
I doubt anyone will actually care, but it appears the last mile of the route shown here is not technically a legal motorized route. See the attached Google Earth screenshot for reference, with the MVUM route from the Forest Service GIS data shown in red and the GPX track provided here shown in blue. Note that the red line ends shortly after the fork at waypoint 7.

No snow blockages at this point. Very nice 4wd road, decently varied and fun. Views up top are excellent, with a 360 sweep and Grays right there. Impressive. Didn't go around the shelf at top. No reason to, it peters out quickly with no additional views, but it is clear of snow as well.

This trail is wide open to waypoint 3. After that it continues to be blocked by snow. It is clearing up fast. Even the lower part was an enjoyable trip with great views and a couple of small challenges. Very nice for a short out and back trip.

I didn't make it over to Santa Fe, but I did fly my drone up from Webster Pass. The shelf road is snowed over. VERY DANGEROUS! DO NOT ATTEMPT!!

This trail was spectacular from start to finish- a beautiful forest approach with tight switchbacks and waterbars, then out above treeline for long stretches of rocky, off-camber trail with a few fun obstacles that were challenging but more than doable in my stock '12 Xterra Pro4x with fresh 33" tires. As soon as you think you're there, you hit the sketchy shelf road- not somewhere I'd want to be when it's wet! The views from the summit area are stunning, and the ride down is just as fun. Highly recommended.

We were able to make it to the fork at 2.5 miles, but had to turn back due to deep snow covering the road at this point.

Summit County has had a couple of snow storms now. Most trails that go above treeline are blocked with snow.
The image here is a drone shot of the summit of Geneva Peak (Sante Fe's sister to the south) taken from directly above the Webster Pass trail.
Please DO NOT attempt the shelf road if there is snow or ice. It's a long way down.

Super trail with amazing views from just over 13,000 ft. altitude. Nothing challenging on this trail except a few tight switchbacks, and the off-camber shelf road at the top requires 100% full attention. Vehicle: '98 Jeep XJ 3" lift

Very simple, straight forward trail. If you have a fear of heights you might not enjoy this
