First few miles is dusty and a decent amount of traffic, but once you get to the 4WD warning sign no more people. So, be prepared to possibly drive backwards some sketchy, rocky/bumpy, narrow areas on the side of a cliff. Proceed straight on CR 317, or turn left on CR 734. Planning to do this in a few days from Marble to CB. By this point you have seen most of the wildflower display anyway. We’re often asked that question of whether the trail between Crested Butte and Aspen will be open or closed this summer due to snow and last winters avalanches. The latter is more precarious because if you get stuck then you have no immediate aid and will be at the mercy of the first passer-by. Non-Department of Defense CAC/ID card holders are allowed on post but must obtain a short-term or long-term visitor pass. Photograph is of the Schofield Pass SNOTEL site. Those previous hikers will also help a ledge of sorts to form on steep snow sections. Support is just a phone call away and you'll be met on the slopes or at your accommodations. Thought we might be too late for the wildflower display, but we were pleasantly surprised. Lyman Gate (Required gate for all visitors): Open 24 hours/ 7 days a week, Foote Gate: Open from 5 a.m.-9 p.m./ 7 days a week, Macomb Gate: Open 5 a.m.-1 p.m., Monday-Friday. Schofield Pass is one of Colorado's most notable four-wheel drive roads. Accessible only by high-clearance 4-wheel-drive trucks. Emerald Lake is gorgeous. The Schofield Pass Road begins where these intersect (where the brown Forest Service sign indicates "Schofield Park"). This is typically about a 45min drive from crested butte on a dirt road that doesn’t necessarily require an SUV, but a car with some clearance. Drove in the uphill direction, from Crystal City to Crested Butted. This is a great 4x4 road, I look forward to it each year. That is currently the case and will be the case for most of the summer. I had conquered Schofield Pass, and it remains one of my favorite four-wheeling memories. The most popular and shortest route is over West Maroon Pass. Other than the one obstacle, not too bad. I saw a post by a person who drove a minivan in and was complaining about how treacherous it was. In Marble, at the intersection of Second Street and Silver Street, turn east toward Beaver Lake; this is the Crystal City Trail. A couple of other options would be Triangle Pass and hiking past the Conundrum Hot Springs, or bikers using Pearl Pass or Taylor and Star Pass to get between Crested Butte and Aspen. There is a pull-out at the bottom of Devil's Punchbowl, very close to the narrow bridge. The rating on this trail seriously needs to be updated. In the summer of 2017, it appeared that the FS had built a dirt berm to minimize this obstacle (see pictures of my stock Isuzu Trooper on the obstacle in the trip report dated 8/28/2017). Don't ruin a wondrous thing!] Have questions about motorcycle safety regulations? I would recommend driving this trail on a weekday to avoid the congestion we experienced (a Saturday during fall colors!) Discussion in ' The Rockies – It's all downhill from here... ' started by shrederscott , Sep 27, 2019 . Maybe we were lucky but only saw 1 vehicle on Scofield Pass. I’m mostly going to focus on the West Maroon Pass Hike as that’s what the majorly of folks are seeking information for. There is at least one more really steep rocky section after that. Backing up maybe a hundred yards, I smoothly built up to the speed I thought would take me across. To get to that trailhead you have to drive over Schofield Pass.

The road re-enters the forest canopy and soon merges with the Crystal City Trail at the eastern trailhead to Lead King Basin, roughly one-half mile east of Crystal. Vehicle traffic discouraged. Another thing to think about is in some areas you cannot see around bends and there are no areas to turn around for good stretches. which required us to back-up several times. WOW that was one of the most interesting trails i have done. There are plenty of places near Crystal City to leave the trailer. I did bump my skid plates a few times down the remainder of the road. Make a point to include Schofield Pass among your must-see summer four-wheeling destinations. Support is just a phone call away and you'll be met on the slopes or at your accommodations. There the road became more rutted and very narrow. In the end, we decided to turn around and did not complete the route. About 0.3 miles from Emerald Lake there is still a 15-25' high wall of snow covering the road. The road was no joke (heed the warning sings, they mean it) and the river and devils pot holes were fabulous. Once again she and the boys bailed out. I would have felt very unsafe in a vehicle had we continued. Discussion in ' The Rockies – It's all downhill from here... ' started by shrederscott , Sep 27, 2019 . Remember: UPHILL has the right of way. I'd describe this road as: large rocks, moderate off camber (leaning you into the river), and about no spots to pull over, so be ready to drive in reverse over all of these obstacles while on a narrow shelf should you have to yield to traffic. Fun, but not for the faint of heart. The show started at the far end of Mount Crested Butte where the dirt road to Gothic and Schofield Pass begins. So I spent a-lot of time online trying to figure out if this pass is doable in my 2015 Jeep Rubicon (unchanged from manufacture) and it seems so... without damaging? In cases where you are visiting a government sponsor on post, you must include your sponsor's; full name, rank/status, unit/organization, address for on-post residence or location of visitation, telephone number and dates of visitation. Sorry, there are no tours or activities available to book online for the date(s) you selected. You cannot reach Schofield Pass going up 317 from Gothic. This last area requires a 4x4 as it's steep and rocky. After prepping the ’93 Cherokee for the trip, and making reservations in both Redstone and Crested Butte we headed out to hopefully conquer Schofield Pass. The slide had sideways slope of probably ten degrees and there was a real risk of sliding off too. Approaching the Devil's Punchbowl, the trail seems slightly narrower than last year due to the vegetation (willow) growth. There is a wide area on the east side sufficient to park it for a couple of hours up and back down the Punchbowl.
