Huron Trailhead Access

Post by EMBond »

Before driving down this weekend, I'm hoping someone might have recent information about road conditions for CO 390 to Winfield and beyond? Haven't seen a conditions report since the snow this past week.

Any information on the road or trail conditions is appreciated!

Thanks for the tip, ended up going out there on 10/31. For anyone else interested, no trouble getting to the 2WD trailhead in our CRV, most of the snow and ice is melted out. We did not attempt the 4WD road to the upper trailhead since we were going up via Lulu Gulch.

We were eventually turned around by snow/wind just before gaining the ridge near Brown's Peak. I think it would've been doable with more capable footwear, or by taking the slightly longer way up Middle Mtn.
