Already_on_Top Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) There is a mud slide a 1 1/2 miles up the road. Up to 10 feet deep. It didn't wash out, just covered the road.

faster_than_you Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 There is a mud side a 1 1/2 miles up the road. Up to 10 feet deep. It didn't wash out, just covered the road. Â Sure did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Still gated @ the bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Still gated @ the bridge? Â It was'nt officially gated two weeks ago but a big snow berm blocked access, and there's also a landslide/avalanche about 1.5 miles up blocking the road so this might delay access for a while.

kevino Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 but you can drive around it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpineyeti Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 kevino, any chance one can drive by (over ) the debris flow blocking the road? Â Anyone know if they plan on fixing the road this year? (Assuming that it was a slide rather than avi....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 How big is your car? Or should I say truck? A couple of the slides are pretty mellow, one is a lot bigger - I'm thinking up up to 50 degree angle up and down. Kind of like large moguls if that makes sense. There is also a tree that takes up a good 1/2 to 2/3 of the road, but its not that big. Perhaps someone else with better memory can help. Â I was up there last week and parts of the road of the first mile or so were bare to the ground. But it was also dumping snow when I was leaving and haven't been back since.

jordansahls Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I was up in the area just a few days ago, no hope for a few more weeks. I ended up going up the snow creek trail, but had to turn around due to massive avalanche activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwrts Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 the road is not accessible for motor vehicles unless you are driving a snow mobile or atv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 As of today there is still a good 2 feet of snow on the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 It's an avi, not a slide, so it will melt out on its own. Little road repair will be required. You will not be able to drive around/over it right now, and the gate was still locked as of Thu last week, plus there's still too much snow.

kevino Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 mountain bike-able? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Sjolseth Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 It's within a week or two of melting out. Steady snow doesn't start until just before the bridge, ~1 mile before the TH. It is mountain bikeable to there. Snow in the parking lot is about 12"-18" deep. The aforementioned slide is no longer a factor. This info is from a trip I made 4/20-21.

Dane Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Any update on the road and trail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Pretty much clear for 2 to 2.5 miles. Then its discontinuous snow until the bridge, then its just soft snow from their until the TH. It was about 1.5 feet at the bridge, couple feet at the TH. Trail to junction is nice and packed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
