    Interesting, I had no idea they would open that at all during the winter. I guess they had connections with the CO Department of Transportation, and I assume that must be who "Dr. Bob" is with. Pretty cool.

    Don't know how I missed this thread!

    I grew up just down the road to the East on Hwy 103 there (see map). That area used to be used as my trail running area and there are ton of great back-country camp sites without getting too far out. I have been stuck in the snow so many times up there I don't care to count.

    Question: does one simply ask the county to open the road? That gate goes up early and stays there most the winter for vehicular travel, no? What procedures or do they just happen to know the right folks?

    Scott, ,I think they know the right people to get access to the road in winter.

    OT warning!

    Pskhaat, they re-opend that ski area just north-east of Echo Lake and I think they have lights there too. Thought you would get a kick out of that.

    DaveinDenver, I'm a couple miles east of you.

    Willman, the area where they got stuck has good skiing through August.
