The status of many popular high elevation 4x4 trails in Colorado are listed below and are updated as the trails open or close and as trail users contribute. The list includes some 2 wheel drive access roads. The voluntary trail-status updates come from many sources, primarily individual trail riders plus the National Forest Service and the BLM.
As Colorado mountain weather can be highly unpredictable, please check with the relevant information body yourself for any recent changes. Conditions can change without notice. It is also subjective - a trail one person says is open, may be considered too dangerous to travel by another.


Review PREVIOUS YEARS trail status updates, dating back to 2001.

2024 information, 2023 information, 2022 information, 2021 information, 2020 information, 2019 information, 2018 season, 2017 season, 2016 season, 2015 season, 2014 season, 2013 season, 2012 season, 2011 season, 2010 season, 2009 season, 2008 season, 2007 season, 2006 season, 2005 Season, 2004 Season,2003 Season, the 2002 Season or the 2001 Season.

This list is intended as a guide only and no responsibility is taken for any incident arising from mis-information. The ultimate responsibility as to whether the trail is safe to travel, within the capabilities of yourself and your vehicle, or indeed open at all, is taken by YOU. If in doubt, DO NOT TRAVEL. The inclusion of any trail on this page does not mean it is open or legal to travel. Conditions change, and trail status may change, often without warning. Use common sense, and do not go around closure barriers, signs, or warnings. YOU have responsibility for your own actions and all of these trails should be considered TRAVEL AT YOUR OWN RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY.

- Lots of drifts at the southern end before the gate that can be driven over. Just have a buddy, or a winch. Rest of the trail was dry with a few puddles.

4/18/25 - Courtesy of CORE updating trail status once again, for 2025!
** Clohesy Lake 4WD Road FSR 381 is OPEN for 2025 with deep snow a lot of the way. With much crawling in deep snow, some downed trees needed cutting, it was possible for us to reach around 10,900 ft elevation at the edge of the meadow near the top end of the the trail where it meets the Pear Lake - Clohesy Lake hiking Trail #1461.
- Again don't travel alone, turn back rather than go beyond your comfort zone.
- Reminder to us all, Stay the Trail, do not make new campsites in this meadow which is a narrow opening in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness area.

- Clear Creek Road FSR 390 is OPEN to Winfield.

4/16/25 - Courtesy of CORE out there traveling and checking the trails first hand, yet again for the 2025 season!
- South Cottonwood Road FSR 344 is officially OPEN for 2025 as of today.
- By Green Timber Gulch Trailhead at 10,260 ft we hit on snow, patchy snow.
** By 10,600 ft, 1.3 miles above Green Timber Gulch Trailhead, we're in pretty deep snow all the way across the road.
** By 10,830 ft at the turnoff for Grassy Gulch 4WD Road FSR 349 (Closed to snow) which goes to Ptarmigan Lake Trailhead #1444, we're now in deep sloppy snow. Progress is a slow creep, crawling our way through the snow. Above this gets deeper and slower still.
** By 10,900 ft, some 1300 feet beyond the Grassy Gulch turnoff, we call it a day and turn around with extreme care. We're in 3 feet of snow and getting high centered too often. So overall, that's a serious deep snow blockade on South Cottonwood Road FSR 344, at around 2.6 miles above Green Timber Gulch Trailhead.

4/20/25 - Courtesy of Josh B. sharing trail updates already for the 2025 season!
- Despite a heavy wet 1+ foot of snow this weekend, the two weeks of temps in the 60s almost no April snow....
- The snowpack for Summit is barely 75% and the San Juans are at barely 50%.
- I made it to almost 11k feet up Georgia Pass yesterday from the South, on Michigan Creek CR-54, which is a good 3 weeks earlier than last year, 2024. That's above Johnson Creek, yet not quite to Michigan Creek crossing.

4/18/25 - Courtesy of CORE, checking the status of trails once again, as we roll into the 2025 season.
** Halfmoon Creek/Gulch Road FSR 110 is OPEN to snow for 2025. Expect low amounts of snow on the trail from as low as 10,00ft near Emerald Lake where we pressured down. By Mt Massive Trailhead at 10,100 we hit deep snow.
** By South Halfmoon 4WD Road, FSR 110.J at 10,230 ft it takes a few runs to get up through the deepening snow. Deeper still by North Halfmoon Lakes hiking Trailhead #1485 at around 10,550ft with a managable water crossing of Halfmoon Creek shortly after.
** At 10,600 ft, around 650 ft of steep climbing beyond the creek crossing, we turned around due to deep snow and the threat of falling into deep holes below the snow. Too risky to crawl any further. We turned back for today. Unrurprisingly, there's no getting near Champion Mill today, some 2.8 miles further up the the trail.
** South Halfmoon 4WD Road FSR 110.J is effectively CLOSED to snow right near the start. We managed to cross Halfmoon Creek to the where the trail splits, some 300 along the trail from FSR 110 and were blocked by very deep snow on both sides of the split. No chance of going further today.

- Back in 2023, Halfmoon Creek/Gulch Road was open as far as the Champion Mill on 5/30/23.
- Remember, don't drive around snow drifts. If you can't push thru on the trail proper, turn around and come back another day when the snow has melted to enjoy the trail without damaging the surrounding terrain.

- Made tracks through the last spots of snow from last snow fall, on La Salle Pass. It'll be melted out in a week or so, but passable. Only about 2 inches at most. I'm calling it OPEN for 2025!

4/18/25 - Courtesy of CORE updating trail status once again, for 2025!
** Lost Canyon Road FSR 398 is OPEN for 2025 to around 11,700 ft with water and mild to deep snow. Expect increasing depth challenging snow from around 9,700ft requiring air-down and a lot of slow crawling in snow. Don't travel alone. Turn around before going beyond your comfort zone. Return to enjoy the trail another time.
** At 11,600 ft the road splits next to the upper reaches of Cache Creek. The lower road at this point, closer to the creek line is private. Upper road CLOSED to deep snow with dangerous off camber rise. It heads up above the tree line toward the old Columbine Mine. No go for now.

- Clear, Cross, or Turn Back. No Going Around obstacles off trail.
- We all know the latter causes damage to resources, trail users reputation and can foster trail closure. Let's all continue to Stay The Trail, Keep The Trail.

- ONGOING REMINDER - Red Cone summit down to Webster Pass is ONE-WAY only, downhill to Webster Pass only. As the sign in place says, All vehicles must exit via Montezuma or Handcart Gulch! Know before you Go, that these latter trails are sufficiently free of snow to travel, before descending to Webster Pass.

- In 2023, Webster Pass Opened to the top on the Montezuma side only, on July 5. See deep snow cornice blockade at top of Handcart Gulch. The pass Opened as a thru route on July 27 following the efforts of many hands taking to their shovels.
