Kite Lake Road vs Others
I'm thinking of attempting Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln tomorrow. How does the Kite Lake road compare to others like Fourmile Creek road or the road to Iowa Amphitheatre at Sherman? I drive a Mazda hatchback and both of those other roads were ok as long as I went very slowly. I could take my wife's CR-V if needed, but I'd rather not since my car is a stick shift. She can drive it but is not used to it. Thanks!!!

I am not familiar with those other roads, but I was able to drive to Kite Lake a couple of weeks ago in a Honda Accord without a problem. There were a couple ruts towards the top, but nothing horrible.

Re: Kite Lake Road vs Others
Is it rocky or just dirt/gravel?

Dirt/gravel.
But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Re: Kite Lake Road vs Others
Kite Lake Road is a bit rougher than the Fourmile road most of the way till the trailhead end which has a deep rut and maybe a washout before a parking lot. I have driven both roads.
