I was there at the end of May/early July.

It was only open to the top.

Is it completely open yet?

Beautiful drive!!!

It's open all the way through. Took it from the Telluride side over to 550 and into Silverton.

Nice pics man! I know a trail over here in Summit called Garibaldi Gulch and that's the only one open all the way to the top of the divide. Very cool trail! Do you wheel much out by Ouray?

Nope. First time out there. I'm usually up in your area. Did Georgia Pass last summer. Avatar pic from that pass. Haven't heard of Garibaldi Gultch. Where's it at?

Right by Georgia actually. You just branch off to the left where there's a sign saying North Fork/Swan River. If the other trails on top aren't blocked, you can go over to Montezuma. It's too bad this is going to be such a short season for wheelin up here this year because of all this snow. Still can't get to the top of Georgia, gonna be at least another week or so. If you got more than one Jeep, it'd be worth trying to blast through some of those snow piles. Was just up there by myself on Sunday
