Status Update
My hiking partner and I hiked into LKB via Marble on Labor Day weekend. He has a 4runner with really good tires and a 3" lift but he couldn't make the turn to get over the avi debris. There's too much loose crap and snow beneath it to get any decent momentum. a few other trucks tried and another 4runner but no one could get through even though it "looks" doable. A 4-wheeler (I think someone with the FS) was able to get over and back a couple time but he said he hadn't seen any vehicles get through. The only vehicle we saw on the other side was a truck that came from Crystal. Here are some pictures from that morning: Pic #1: Looking back at where we parked Pic #2: most of the avi debris Pic #3: looking down the initial ramp Pic #4: looking up the initial ramp
