woodchips Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Anyone been up the Cascade river road lately? Thinking of checking out little devil/ teebone ridge and wondering how close we can get to the monogram lake trailhead. Quote
Mattski Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I heard the closure is at mile 9 out of Marblemount due to debris on the road. Quote
woodchips Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks, Matt. I think the monogram lake trail is at about 5 mi, so we might be OK. Quote
woodchips Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 I just talked to the county, and they said they THINK it's plowed to the seven mile marker. Quote
woodchips Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 As of sunday (3/8), The road is plowed to the 8 mile marker (there's a campground there, dont remember the name.) Looks like people had continued to drive up the unplowed road from there (3 or 4 inches of snow.) Not sure how much further you can drive, but you can get to the Lookout Mt./ Monogram lake trailhead.

jordansahls Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Just a quick update: Â I was out there this last weekend climbing Eldorado, and I took a 4x4 because the national forest website advised it. You don't need one at all, leave it behind and save yourself some gas money. Quote
Val Zephyr Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 How far can you drive up the road? Is the gate just past the Eldorado trailhead open? Thanks! Quote
jordansahls Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 You can drive up to the Eldorado Creek gate at MP 20. It will be gated for most of the season due to washouts. Quote
