4th of July TH is clear and mostly reasonable to access. Some passenger cars up there today, but there's a few mud pits along the road.
Summertime trail to 4th of July mine is hit and miss to follow. Mostly snow covered the entire way, with various tracks one can follow, but well tracked and supportable. We didn't need snowshoes.
