Looking for the conditions of 4th of july mine trail?

Is the main road drivable, or do we need to make a 5 mile slog to the trail head?

thanks.

Yeah, you'd have to do the slog. I haven't been up there yet this season but normally I believe the road is gated at the end of the town.

If you take skis though it will be a nice downhill back to the car!

Yeah, Frosty, you're right on both counts: the road's gated if not blocked by a big snow berm, and the descent is indeed fast, easy and fun. Adub, take your rock skis: it's likely to be really thin this time of year, especially this year.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
