mtn loop hwy road condition question

[genepires]

I was wondering if anyone knows the road condition on the granite falls side of the mountain loop hwy, specifically is the road still gated and snowed in from deer creek area and beyond like normal winter conditions? Was thinking of taking the boy out to the big 4 parking lot to throw snowballs and run around n such.

 

thanks,

gene

I haven't been up there lately, but I can almost say for sure the road is still closed. There is a washington trails assocaiation web site with road and trail status and numbers to ranger stations. http://www.wta.org/hiking-info/ranger-station-info

 

When I tried the road link, it wasn't working so you might want to call the ranger station.

For anyone who cares, the road is gated at deer creek like usual and the road is all snow from there on. Should be around for a week or two. snowshoes or skiis are nice but not manditory. Saw a small avi come down big four. Nice easy day.
