Looks like a good trip Kevin. Thanks for the post. Would the road still be driveable to the 2WD TH after this latest storm you think? Also, does the trail warrant carrying skis for the approach?
Hi, Prakash! It looks like the Sawatch is not going to get hit as hard as the Front range with this storm, so you might still be able to get to the summer TH. It's probably gonna be iffy though. There's enough snow on the trail to skin it from the bottom, although the switchbacks will be tight for you!
Wow excellent work up such a grand area. What a winter aye, making these climbs so much more possible. Way to take advantage. Those pictures have got me salivating...Cheerio!
