I had added the update about the road blockage to the Flat Top page after you mentioned the change. Did you notice the ATV road that you drove part way up intersecting the regular route?
100 Elk, that is a great experience to see. Was the register still in a mailbox?
I didn't get far enough up the ATV road to see where it went. After looking at the topos and Benchmark Atlas, I'm pretty sure it goes all the way to the 8,000 ft intersection. Of course there could always be a gate somewhere up there.
Guys,
I just noticed these comments after PMing Dean today about my experience using the ATV road yesterday. It DOES go all the way to the 8,000 foot intersection. There are no gates along the way. Signs along the way indicate it is public land. The last part of the route drops from a higher saddle to the west down to the 8,000 foot saddle area. It was fine for my my Jeep Wrangler, but might give a full-size pickup owner with a nice paint job second thoughts :) !!
