needtoclimb Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 This is the road that leads to the road 2369 (or something like that) that leads to Adams Glacier, also known as the Killen Creek trailhead. Website for forest service shows it closed due to snow. Does anyone know whether the road gets gated, or is it an unofficial "close." Looking to to a late May climb of Adams Glacier, and wondering how close we can get to the trailhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Poulton Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I never saw a gate...but then I wasn't looking for it. I think I might have to just go drive over there and see this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Best to just call the local Forest Service and ask. They cruise those roads and would probably know exactly how far you could get in there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdk Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) You can call the Forest Service, but using last year as an example, they do not regularly check these roads - but rely on others to give them updates. We provided them an update on FS23 last spring, as they had no new information in the previous month. You may want to update the FS if you go up there. Â There are no gates. You can drive until the snow stops you. Â If anyone heads up there, I'd appreciate an update as well.

needtoclimb Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks pdk. I was hoping for just that, and my truck can make it pretty far. I don't mind a few extra miles of hiking if need be, I just hate walking on perfectly clear roads simply because the FS gated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
