i don't know much about the trailhead you're asking about, but i do know 56/lost park better than the average bear.

what kind of "conditions" are you asking about? there is hardly any 4WD terrain in all of lost creek wilderness and i can guarantee it's all snow-free.

They do plow the road occasionally, but most likely it will be washboard to the TH. The county did repair the spur road to the TH last year. It was a nasty sloped affair to a ditch on the right side. It's all nice and level to the TH now.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I drove the road yesterday and it was just wash-boarded like crazy, but any old car will do.
