Trail is open and in good shape. There are some icy spots in the shade. An old 2x4 F-150 on bald tires was stuck at the bottom of one icy hill. For us with with good winter tires the hill was no issue even in 2-HI. We saw a few AWD crossovers making it through just fine. Overall, a great easy trail and one of the limited scenic roads that’s open this time of year.

Pretty neat little trail with a cool payoff at the end in the form of the river, cliffs and mill ruins. Not the most exciting or spectacular trail in the region but a nice quick side trip, worth the time if you’re in the area. We were on snow tires and still didn’t need 4wd at any point in an F-150 Tremor.

This trail really is one of the highlights of the Breckenridge area. It’s much steeper than the pictures make it seem on the north side, but isn’t particularly challenging. I ran it solo in a stock 2022 F-150 Tremor with no issues, other than some very minor rubbing over one of the water breaks. It’s easy enough that I didn’t need to get out to pick a line at any point. It’s an ideal trail for a body-on-frame truck/SUV with a factory off-road package—just steep and twisty enough to be interesting but never really stressful. There were a few patches of light ice that didn’t cause any traction issues in the last half mile of the north side before the summit. Other than that, it was completely clear. This will probably change given the snow expected to come in tomorrow.
