Posted By: madmattd Info: No issues to the trailhead. Limited trailhead parking but enough on this day. Road should be passable to any highway vehicle, low clearance might need to take care in one or two spots but overall the road is in good shape. |

Posted By: Dad Mike Info: This is actually for Fourmile TH on the south side of the peaks. I was able to drive within 1/4 mile of the winter gate closure. This was right around 8900’. The road had a packed down track until the 375 / 377 intersection, then it was all untouched. |

Posted By: madmattd Info: Road is still closed. The USFS site shows as much (links below, updated April 4 2019), and I was speaking to another hiker this weekend who had tried to access the Buffalo Peaks from the Fairplay side last weekend and he showed me a picture of the road closure sign that he found. It looked like the same sign I remember from last summer. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd620135.pdf https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd620134.pdf |

Posted By: Flips Info: We were greeted with a closed gate to the road this morning. The is most probably because of the Weston Pass fire which is now encroaching the area. We were thankful at the end of the day that it was closed, forcing us to hike elsewhere. |

Posted By: BillMiddlebrook Info: Dry to the "trailhead." The road can be done by almost any kind of 2wd vehicle as long as it has a bit of clearance. |
