Central Rockies-is Forest Service shutting gates yet?

Post by jibler »

I may end up needing to call them to see

but wondering if - in general - if people are seeing them shut the gates yet?

Specifically wondering if road 431 leading to north side of the Buffalo Peaks is still open.

Gracias.

Typically, most gates get closed after 4th hunting season, which would be around the end of November/early December.
The only time I lower the bar is après
