5/8/08 - Both ends of the loop from the Weston Pass road are clear and open, but
from the snowpack elsewhere and the closed in treed nature of these trails, I'm
sure they're still impassable.

in Colorado, and excellent vistas.
The majority of this region is open all year.

05/10/08 - The main Marshall Pass road is open from Highway 285 on the east side
to 0.1 miles west of the Saguache County Line (5.5 miles west of the O'Haver Lake
Campground). Past this the snowpack is deep. The alternative Poncha Creek Road
is open from Shirley Townsite as far as 0.1 miles west of the Starvation Creek
hiking trailhead. Past that, it is blocked by a 50 yard snowpack. It's clear
immediately past this, but it's likely to be blocked in the trees.

5/3/08 - The trail is open all the way.This past Monday I and a friend ran the whole trail.
I was in a stock '08 Wrangler and my friend was in a '01 Pathfinder. There is some snow in the
shady parts, but most of the trail is free and dry. But the gate into Harris Park area was closed.
4/21/08 - Several people have reported that this and other trails in the Harris Park area are temporarily closed due to wet conditions, with the gates locked.
3/15/08 - The trail is open but probably not even worth trying to go through it.
About eight inches of snow at the bottom on the 4WD loop. I personally didn't even make it to the turn for Slaughterhouse (WAY TO RISKY). Make sure if you attempt to make the run, you have other cars with you and you will probably want/need a winch!
1/5/08 - Though they aren't posted, the mud pits at Slaughterhouse are closed and should not be driven in. Someone tore down the signs.
Completely open all year.

3/16/08 - From the 285 side, there are signs that say the road is closed! Once you come to the Y, left goes to campgrounds/picnic area and right goes to Webster Pass and Georgetown. Left, there is at least one and a half feet of snow that you can see a truck was stuck in as well as car tracks that were able to stay above the snow and not sink in to it. Right, there is a unknown amount of snow but it is truely impossible to pass in a truck.

at that point, and no one had tried to go through.
