Anyone been to Lime Park yet this year? Snow free? We're planning on going up there next Wed, June 24th, and I was just wondering if the roads were passable yet.
Thanks.

Keep this in mind (from TKeagle's Condition Report on the Lime Creek area page)

Friends of Lime Creek:

Just so you are aware and save yourself a lot of headache and disappointment, there will be no way straightforward way to access Lime Creek Canyon DURING WEEKDAYS from Eagle OR Basalt this entire summer (through August) as USFS is reconstructing the road past Sylvan Lake and Crooked Creek pass is in the middle of the project, so you can't take Hat Creek Road (from Yeoman) or come up from the Reudi side either UNLESS you take Burnt Mountain Road past the Harry Gates Hut. Crazy!

The end result will be a better and safer road I am told, but this means - without exception as it will be gated and locked - that unless it is a WEEKEND (Fridays after 6pm through Sunday 6pm, exception being holiday weekends of July 4th and Labor Day), you will have to drive around to Basalt and up Burnt Mountain Road past the Harry Gates Hut to get to LC.
