2 Posted By: Kbrown321 Info: One section of ruts just before the final campsites (about ~0.5mi from the trailhead at ~9400) gave me some pause in an xtrek (wish I had a photo but forgot sadly). Plenty of SUVs at the TH but no sedans and probably would not recommend trying to drive the last bit in a sedan with current conditions. Stopping before this would only add 200’ and ~0.5mi. | ||||
Posted By: JasonKline Info: The road was pretty rough for a 2WD sedan. My Hyundai Ioniq made it to the trailhead, but I scraped a few rocks despite careful driving. | ||||
Posted By: Tornadoman Info: Road was in reasonable shape. A few bumpy patches, the roughest spot was right before the trailhead where there are quite a few moderate sized holes and a few rocks to dodge. Made it in a Corolla with careful driving. | ||||
Posted By: randomboulder Info: Road is open to the TH. Some bumps and ruts, but not bad. Any AWD/4WD vehicle should be able to make it and possibly 2WD with careful driving. | ||||
Posted By: SolarAlex Info: the road was in good shape, a few decent ruts that would require some clearance, but anything with awd/4wd should be fine...good clearance 2wd should be ok too, only 1 steepish hill to negotiate and its short. there was a mini at the trailhead. | ||||
Posted By: goingup Info: Clear to TH. Bumpy with many deep holes. 4WD with some clearance necessary. Keller Mountain had lots of snow on it (hip deep in some spots on my 5‘ 4" frame). | ||||
Posted By: d_baker Info: TH is closed at winter location, about 1.5 miles down from summer time trail head. The Rock Creek Rd from Hwy 9 is steep, slick, snowpacked, and has 0 grains of sand on it. Proceed with caution! From winter closure, the road to summer time TH is packed from skiers and snowshoers. It can be booted. | ||||
Posted By: CarpeDM Info: After an easy start, the last mile+ gets to be a rough ride - not bottoming out rough, though. I got my low-clearance 2wd to the trailhead without much problem. | ||||
Posted By: Steve Knapp Info: Road is cleared of downed trees and no snow all the way to the trailhead. There are a couple very rough sections, I would not plan on getting a 2wd car all the way to the end. A couple Subarus and a Honda CRV made it, everyone else parked at the TH had 4WD high clearance. | ||||
Posted By: TravelingMatt Info: This TH can be used to access Keller Mountain and the Grand Traverse. The road after making the left turn is rather rough, but there were 2wd cars at the trailhead. |
