Mr_D Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Anyone have more current road conditions for Adams? The forest service says to Gotchen Creek on the 5/22, but it has been very warm lately. Thanks, Mr. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganDonor Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I was there mem. weekend. You can drive to within 3 miles of the south climb trailhead. Maybe a little farther now. The road was patchy up until the parking lot, then it was continuos snow from there. You would hit a clearing of bare road, then a couple hundred feet you'd be back on a 2-3 foot snowpack. I think you would prolly be able to get a half mile or so past where we parked. Which was right around 3 miles from the TH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickleJuice Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I just got back from Adams last night. There is still about a 3 mile walk into the trailhead, but with the snow melting fast and only 3 trees down, my bet is that the road should be cleared by next weekend...hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_D Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Thanks for the info. Hope to get out and ski it soon. -Mr_D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubletall Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I just returned tonight, we summited Saturday about 2:30. We parked at Morrison Creek and followed the creek rather than walking to Cold Springs. It's the fourth year in a row we've gone on the same weekend and it's definitley the least amount of snow I've seen. I didn't recognize the Crecent Glacier from previous years. I you park at Morrison Creek there's still enough snow in the creek gully to ski out within about a mile from the campground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_a Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 doubletall, assuming you did the climb as a day trip? what time did you start up from morrison creek? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubletall Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Pete, It was actually a two day trip. We left Morrison at 4 pm Friday and camped at about 6300 ft. Saturday we started around 8 and made the summit at around 2:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottk Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Road to Cold Springs was passable to the trail head on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
